Study, travel and earn credit towards your degree with a short-term overseas study experience.
Short-term experiences are brief overseas opportunities which can run anywhere between two to six weeks. Usually delivered during semester breaks, these offerings are the perfect way to have a global experience without impacting on your semester studies.
Whether you're looking for a program that is across a wide range of study areas, or centred around a particular topic, you'll find an opportunity that is right for you. Each short-term overseas study experience has unique eligibility criteria, duration, course credits and costs though and don't forget to explore the program's details to find the right activity for you.
Short-term exchange
Undertake a short program with a partner university and tick off a course or two during the summer or winter breaks. You’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in a foreign culture while undertaking an intensive academic program.
There are multiple options per semester break, and you continue to pay your RMIT tuition fees as normal.
Short-term study abroad
Study Abroad programs are just like the short term exchange programs, however the tuition fees and funding arrangements are slightly different. While this global experience will still provide you with an amazing overseas adventure, these study abroad programs usually require out-of-pocket tuition and program fee payments.
Study tours
Study tours are RMIT taught courses which involve a travel component. Led by RMIT academics, study tours are an opportunity for you to travel overseas with your fellow peers on an itinerary of daily activities and gain course credit.

Funded short-term experiences
There are a variety of programs that are funded from either RMIT, Philanthropic donors the New Colombo Mobility program, and more. Some may require applications while others are based on eligibility criteria.
Financial assistance
Did you know there is government funding, scholarships and grants available to support you on your overseas study experience?
