Bachelor of Arts Exchange Fact Sheet

What do I need to do?

1. Start planning early!! You need to start preparing for exchange at least 12 months prior: • Visit the UQ Abroad website for information on eligibility, the application process, links to seminars and to

read about others’ experiences. • Attend an information session conducted by UQ Abroad. • Refer to the BA Exchange study planner that demonstrates how an exchange semester can be

incorporated into your BA program, and together with the online BA planner map your program. We strongly recommend undertaking exchange in Year 2 Semester 2.

• Remember to save 6 to 8 units of electives for your exchange semester. • If you need help with planning your program, contact the Faculty of HaSS

. 2. Consider Course Constraints

• The semester that you can go on exchange depends on the majors being undertaken and their flexibility of options.

• It is strongly recommended that you save your electives and undertake these while on exchange to give yourself the most choice and flexibility when choosing universities and should your pre-approved courses at your host university not be available on arrival.

• For this reason you should not undertake any core compulsory courses (currently labelled gateway, cornerstone and capstone) towards your major as these courses are very difficult to match overseas and other courses often cannot be substituted for those that are pre-approved.

• Where a core course or course towards your major needs to be included, such as a language acquisition course, sufficiently detailed course profiles must be provided to demonstrate that the content covered within the course is sufficiently equivalent to content studied in the course at UQ. Course profiles should include information about the extended syllabus, aims and objectives, contact hours, texts and references and assessment.

For students studying a language major • Undertaking language acquisition courses while overseas requires you to pass a placement test at your

host institution. Be aware that not all students achieve a level sufficiently high enough for entry into the required equivalent course at the host institution and therefore you may not be eligible for credit towards your language major at UQ. It may also take longer for you to complete your major on your return, due to progression prerequisites.

• Due to these circumstances we recommend that you limit the number of language acquisition courses you undertake on exchange, and that you save your cultural courses (LTCS/SLAT/MSTU) for your exchange semester to allow you the most flexibility. Some language majors only have language acquisition courses, in these cases you may wish to save some of your program electives for exchange so that you can undertake a combination of language acquisition courses and program electives.

3. Decide on a Host University

• Where major convenors or the Faculty of HaSS have preferred hosts these are indicated on the attached list, together with any supplementary guidelines; however, other universities will be considered. If no recommendation exists for your major then your convenor, to date, or the Faculty, have not indicated any preference. You should refer to the List of Host Institutions provided on the UQ Abroad website, take heed of additional advice specific to host and choose those that offer courses in your desired elective areas.

• Only universities that offer the study areas you require, whose semesters align with UQ and who can provide detailed course profiles will be considered.

4. Applying for Exchange

Please refer to the UQ Abroad website for application details and deadlines. Documentation to be submitted must include the following: • Completed UQ Abroad exchange Study Plan form. • Relevant course profiles detailing the extended syllabus, aims and objectives, contact hours, texts and

references and assessment for each of the courses listed on the study plan so that they can be assessed. • The completed BA exchange study planner.

Remember while an exchange semester is a great opportunity, you should be prepared for experiences outside your comfort zone. You may have setbacks such as approved courses not being available when you arrive, so a flexible attitude is important, and while UQ Abroad and the Faculty will try to assist, be ready to take responsibility for resolving challenges that arise as well as taking advantage of the exciting experiences in front of you.

Important Things to Consider An exchange semester may add time to complete your program • You should understand that undertaking a semester on exchange may add up to one year onto your program

subject to the prerequisite requirements of your UQ courses and the sequence of study required. Requests for program or major variations will not be approved due the completion of exchange and the scheduling of courses. It is up to you to ensure you plan your program requirements around your exchange semester.

• If you are a student who is on a scholarship, requires Centrelink funding, or any other funding where continuous full time enrolment is required we ask that you carefully consider taking an exchange semester and be aware that subject to circumstances that may arise, when you return you may not be able to enrol full-time due to the prerequisite requirements of your courses.

International students only As complications during an exchange semester may add time onto the completion of your program, due to stringent visa requirements international students should think very carefully before undertaking an exchange semester and if you choose to do so, plan your program and select host institutions very carefully. Applying for credit for previous studies If you are eligible, think carefully before applying for credit for previous studies towards the elective component of your degree. Elective courses provide the most flexibility while on exchange, so it is recommended that you keep 6 to 8 units of electives for your exchange semester. Short Term Global Experiences If you are unable to undertake a semester long exchange, an alternative is to participate in a short-term global experience (e.g. 4-6 weeks over winter or summer semester). Some global experiences may be for credit such as towards unspecified electives. More information is available from the Student Employability Centre website – Global Experiences.

Notes: 1.This is an EXAMPLE only. The exact sequence depends on the choice of major(s) and their prerequisite requirements. Course scheduling and timetabling change each semester. Accommodating your choice of majors/minors and an exchange semester within the timetable is your responsibility and may affect the availability of some combinations. 2. If taking an extended major substitute appropriate courses including your minor courses in lieu of Major 2. The structure of Year 3 largely depends on when your compulsory third year courses are offered in your chosen major. 3. Language students may need to take the equivalent of one compulsory level 2 language acquisition course during their exchange semester. 4. Students are not permitted to undertake exchange in their final semester of study due to the requirement to complete compulsory level 3 courses and the risks associated with find a matching for these courses on exchange, which could result in having to undertake additional courses upon your return. If you are planning to undertake additional travel after your completion of studies and want to undertake exchange in your final semester, you must make a case to the Associate Dean (Academic) demonstrating that you have saved your elective courses for your final semester and that you understand the risks involved including that it could delay your graduation.

8. For students seeking exchange including Drama at Uni Toronto, DRM courses are very popular with few places available for exchange. You must be flexible and be able to include elective options in other disciplines as well to make up a full-time semester load. 9. Due to restricted course choices, exchange at the University of Sheffield is best for electives across a range of disciplines.

The semester timetable in the following institutions overlaps with that of UQ; students may return after the commencement of the following semester at UQ.
