    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)


    How do I apply to go on exchange?

    You apply through the International Office of your home university. The staff there will assess your eligibility for the program and contact the relevant AEN or UN Secretariat with your nomination which, once finalised, will be sent to the AEN or UN partner for the next stage of the application. After this nomination you will be required to complete the exchange application for the host university you have been allocated to.

     

    How many universities can I select?

    You should select three university preferences. If, for some reason, your chosen universities are not available to you, the network will contact you requesting further preferences.

     

    When are the application deadlines?

    For AEN students going to Europe: 

    Once you are officially nominated by your home university and the AEN Secretariat, the next application deadlines to the partner are: in April (for a start in August/September) and in September (for a start in January).

    For UN students coming to Australia:

    Once you are officially nominated by your home university and the UN Secretariat, the next application deadlines to the partner are: in March (for a start in either July or February).


    What are the semester study periods in Australia?

    Semesters in Australia run by the calendar year. Semester 1 runs from February until June and Semester 2 runs from July until November.

     

    When will I know if I am selected?

    The date you will receive your acceptance may vary slightly as it depends on the university you selected. However, the following dates provide a good guide:

    For AEN students going to Europe:

    Mid-May for Semester 1 (European Autumn Semester) start and end of October for Semester 2 (European Spring Semester) start.

    For UN students coming to Australia:

    End of April.


    Where can I find information on what courses are available?

    The best place to look for course information is the website of the university you wish to study at. In addition, the Australian-European Network has an Information Sheet for each UN member university - please check the relevant webpage on our website for links to these Information Sheets. If you need your courses to be in English, then please refer to the 'Courses taught in English' section on each of the member university webpages. Finally, course information can also be found through the Utrecht Network website.
