UniSC’s Exchange Program gives you the chance to study at one of our 70+ partner universities across the Americas, Europe, and Asia – all while earning credit toward your UniSC degree.
Why go on exchange?
- Spend a trimester, or full year abroad
- Stay enrolled at UniSC and continue paying your usual UniSC tuition
- Gain global experience and have approved courses credited to your UniSC degree
- Study the equivalent of at least 4 UniSC courses (48 units)
- Most classes are taught in English
Plan ahead: Applications close at least six months before you travel, so start exploring your options early.
