The Faculty has exchange arrangements with a range of preferred exchange partners throughout the world (see link below) and it is generally easier to obtain faculty approval for an exchange to one of these preferred partners.

• You cannot apply to go on exchange or intercampus exchange until you have completed 48 credit points of your course and received your results.
• Credit points earned at Monash College or outside Monash will not normally be counted in the 48 credit points.
• Approval will only be given to study core units overseas if the content of the overseas unit is 80% identical to the Monash core unit.  It is generally easier to get approval to study electives overseas.
• Students applying to go to universities in Canada and the USA must enrol in 5 courses (usually 15 credits) in order to receive 24 Monash credit points.
• You can normally only go overseas on exchange or intercampus exchange in your last semester if you are doing all electives - check with your course coordinator.
• If you expect to apply for professional accreditation after you have graduated, check with your course coordinator whether your overseas study will be recognised for accreditation purposes.

• Read the faculty policy for exchange/study abroad students before preparing your application (see link below)
• MBA students must seek advice from the MBA exchange coordinator before preparing your application as there are specific requirements for MBA exchanges.
• All other students should submit your completed study plan to the exchange adviser on your campus.
• For every overseas unit in your study plan you must obtain detailed outlinescontaining:
  • weekly breakdown of syllabus
  • prescribed textbooks
  • details of all assessment
  • prerequisites
  • year level
  • credit points (in host university scale)
  • hours of class time
• If these are not available on the host university website, contact Monash Abroad for assistance.
• BBusCom students have 8 open electives (one third of their course) that can be taken from any Bus/Eco program and campus, enabling access to intercampus exchange in Malaysia or South Africa.
• Normal approval time is 4-6 weeks.
