Exchange programs

There are three different participation modes for summer and winter schools. These modes determine how you are enrolled, and how costs and fees are paid. The mode of delivery may also impact how you apply.

Where can I go?

Refer to the Monash Abroad Portal (MAP) Global Summer and Winter Programs website for available program options.

As of 1 January 2020, only GSPs and GWPs that have been pre-approved by Monash Abroad and available in the MAP can be taken.  This is to ensure the quality and timeliness of the programs available to students.

GWPs are usually promoted from late February, and GSPs, are promoted from late July. Only faculty and Monash Abroad approved summer and winter school options are available.

How much will it cost?

Program costs will vary depending on the participation mode, program duration, destination and host institution.

For more information about program costs, refer to the MAP program brochure page of your preferred program.

Important note: Do not pay any deposits (where relevant), or organise flights until you have received Monash Abroad approval. Monash Abroad will not be held responsible for any costs incurred as a result of an unsuccessful application.
