Exchange students must be nominated by their home university before applying to UniSA. If you have any questions about this step, please contact the international office of your home university. There may be additional requirements you need to meet.
Once you’ve been nominated by your home university, you will receive an e-mail with a link to the online application form.

You will use the online application system to accept your place at UniSA.

Apply for Study Abroad
If you are an international student interested in studying for one or two semesters and you do not qualify for an Exchange place, then the Study Abroad program is for you. Unlike student exchange, it is not a requirement for you to be nominated by your home university (though it’s possible you may be). Study Abroad students can apply directly to UniSA, or via one of our registered agents.
Tuition fees for 2025 Study Abroad students are as follows:
- Four courses (18 units): AUD $11,644
- Three courses (13.5 units): AUD $8,733
When ready, please submit the below questions and you will be directed to the relevant method of how to apply.
Your nominated courses will be assessed, and once approved, you will receive an Offer Letter. You may be asked to provide additional courses during the assessment process if our admissions team are unable to approve you for your initially requested courses.
You will use the online application system to accept your place at UniSA.
Note that application deadlines (listed above in the key dates section) are more flexible for Study Abroad students. If you have any concerns please email student.exchange@unisa.edu.au, or discuss with your education agent (if you’re applying through an agent).
