Short Courses and Study Tours

Before you apply, we recommend you also talk to your Faculty Office about how to transfer credit units from a short course to your degree. These courses may be able to be counted towards your degree program as credit transfer or as part of your general education requirements. You will need to seek approval of this from your Faculty.

For more information see Applying for credit for your overseas short course.

Gifu-city may provide travel scholarships to selected students wishing to undertake global mobility programs that sit outside the formal semester exchange program.

OS-Help

Gifu-city students receiving credit for their short course may be eligible to apply for the Australian Government OS Help Loan. OS-HELP provides Commonwealth Government financial assistance to eligible students, to help pay a range of overseas study expenses. Students may receive loans from AUD$1000, indexed annually, for up to two non-overlapping six month study periods.

The DAAD is Germany’s largest scholarship awarding organisation and runs several programs to support academic exchange between Germany and other countries.

Centrelink payments

If you receive Youth Allowance, you can usually arrange to have your payments continue while overseas. You must notify Centrelink before leaving Australia otherwise payments may be stopped.

The application process varies from program to program. You will need to check each individual program for deadlines. Gifu-city will have an internal application period as outlined below:
