Student Exchange programs
Enhance your university experience through a Student Exchange program. As a domestic student studying overseas, you can immerse yourself in a new culture and enrich your academic journey.
What is Student Exchange?
Student Exchange is overseas study undertaken for one or two sessions, completed under an exchange agreement between Torrens University and another educational institution. Exchange students remain enrolled with us as well as the host institution overseas. They continue to pay their tuition fees to Torrens University.
Keep in mind, the Student Exchange program is not available at all partner universities and there may be limits on how many students participate in the program at a host university at one time. If this limit has already been reached, you may need to consider applying to the Study Abroad program.

Why Student Exchange?
Participating in a student exchange program offers numerous benefits for both Australian students and international students based in Australia:
- Cultural Immersion: Dive into new cultures, make friends from around the world, and see life from a fresh perspective.
- Academic Growth: Discover unique learning opportunities and resources that can give you a new angle on your studies.
- Personal Development: Gain independence, adaptability, and confidence by navigating new places and challenges—skills that will stick with you for life.
A student exchange can be an amazing adventure, enriching both your personal and academic journey.
Student Exchange program
If you are a student at Torrens University Australia and you’d like to partake in the Study Abroad program, you must:
- Be undertaking a bachelor degree in either Business, Design and Creative Technology or Hospitality
- Have completed your first year of study at one of our institutions
- Have a minimum credit average in your results
- Have an Australian passport or visa approval to travel and study offshore
You must be prepared to study full time on campus at your host institution. The number of exchange places can be limited and not all courses offer Study Abroad or Student Exchange programs.
All programs will be reviewed prior to delivery in relation to travel advisories and student health and safety, and may not proceed if the university is not confident of both. We recommend that students do not book travel until the programs are confirmed and we will endeavour to do this as far as possible in advance.
If you intend to study at a university that is not one of our exchange partners, you may be able to go as a fee-paying Study Abroad student. Outgoing study abroad is not supported by Torrens University and is entirely independent. As such, you will have to arrange everything by yourself and take a leave of absence from Torrens University.
