Study Abroad (CQUGlobal Inbound Program)
Overview
The Study Abroad (CQUGlobal Inbound Program) allows you to undertake undergraduate or postgraduate units at CQUniversity and receive credit towards your home award, if applicable. It is designed for students currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree overseas, as well as those who have previously studied at these levels and are interested in an international study experience.
The four-unit, discipline-specific study program is designed to meet your academic and personal goals. You can use elective subjects in your home course to explore units outside your major that interest you. You will study face-to-face in your chosen CQUniversity study area, subject to availability at your chosen campus. Some units have prerequisites that you must meet before enrolling. The Study Abroad experience is available for one term of study.
CQUniversity Australia has a national network of campuses, each offering unique study and lifestyle experiences. You can enrol in the Study Abroad program the following campuses, subject to unit availability:
- Brisbane
- Rockhampton
- Mackay (music and theatre units only).
Rockhampton, in Central Queensland, is the university’s main campus and offers on-site accommodation and the broadest range of units. Please note that unit availability varies by location. For more information, visit our Campus Locations page.

I would recommend that everyone participate in an exchange program. The quality and effort put into the units by everyone at CQU is outstanding. It might initially seem intimidating but it will become one of the greatest experiences.

“I chose CQUniversity because I wanted an adventurous and memorable experience for my study abroad. I wanted to visit Australia and experience the great outdoors, while attending a very good university where I can earn credits to transfer towards my degree.

“I liked experiencing the various lessons and enjoyed bowling, cave adventures and more, which helped me make new friends. My favourite place is Yeppoon, I had never seen the beautiful ocean and beach – that was awesome.

“I most enjoyed getting to meet new people and explore a new place. I enjoyed having the ability to get to see Australia while gaining credits for my program at home. I am studying psychology and I most like learning about people and how the mind works.
Emily Lowry

“The international classes are pretty good I learned a lot about international concepts and how business works. The assessments have been intense and I learned a lot. I really liked that they are connected with real international topics and linked with the countries around Australia.
Kristoffer Schulz
CQUGlobal | Germany
“I experienced different methods of teaching and met people from different cultures. I found Australian people are very welcoming. There aren't that many cultural differences, but I did notice that Aussies have a more "chilled out" lifestyle than us Europeans, which I like a lot.

“I chose to study with CQUniversity because they had so many units I could choose from for my Environmental Studies major. I made so many wonderful, lifelong friends so I am very thankful I decided to study abroad at CQUniversity Rockhampton.
Samantha Serviss

“Other cultures and viewpoints help to be more impartial and get to the bottom of our own perspectives. Living at the residential school helped me make friends and we regularly took excursions. I only have positive memories and I absolutely recommend an exchange term at CQU.
