Planning your arrival
Things you need to do before you leave, from confirming your visa to finding accommodation, packing and booking an airport pick up.
The University has updated its current travel advice to all students due to COVID-19. Student exchange applications from New Zealand for Semester 2, 2021 have been reinstated. We remain unable to receive study abroad and exchange applications from other locations for Semester 2, 2021. If you have an application for Semester 2, 2021, the Global Learning team will be in contact with your home institution. Further information on the University's response to COVID-19 is available on the dedicated COVID-19 website.
Exchange and Study Abroad Welcome Day
Exchange and Study Abroad Welcome Day is held on the Friday of the first week of orientation.
Due to COVID restrictions the next Welcome Day is to be confirmed. More information will be provided in your offer letter.
Students studying onshore in Melbourne will be required to attend a compulsory Welcome Day in person at our Parkville campus. Students studying online will receive a recorded welcome briefing.
This is a compulsory requirement for all Exchange and Study Abroad students and you’ll get a lot out of the day including critical information for your studies and also how to make the most of your time in the city of Melbourne.
NOTE - It is not intended for full-degree international, or research students.
