Do you want to expand your knowledge of environmental science, management or sustainability?
Are you studying for a degree with an environmental focus? No doubt you have already had a chance to look at the varieties of subjects available at your own university. But have you looked at subjects offered elsewhere and thought that some of those would enhance your skills and knowledge? Go to Europe, come to Australia – and if you're Australian, how about a semester in another state?
Do you want to travel - and receive an allowance before you go?
You
do? Experience a semester at another university in Australia, Sweden,
Austria or the UK, and receive an allowance. What's more, your studies
will be counted towards your degree at your home university.

So tell me more ...
In 2006, six Australian universities and three European universities formed an alliance to enable their students to experience a semester of study at one of the other partner universities.
As a student of environmental studies or sustainability at one of these universities you are automatically eligible to apply to complete six months of your coursework at a partner university – and get paid while you're there!
You must be involved in a degree that is structured around a core
of subjects relating to environmental science, environmental management
or sustainable development. Select another university in the partnership
at which you will complete a full semester of study; within the program,
you will have to complete one specified unit in sustainable development
either from your own university or your exchange university. Other
than that, you can select other subjects from a wide range of choices
to meet your specific needs and interests.
