Explore on your own terms with independent study
Take a six-week course in Sustainability and EcoTourism in Bali, study Culinary Sciences for Health Benefits in France or join a cultural immersion activity in India. Whatever you do, it will beat doing nothing!
Murdoch University is partnered with universities all over the world. Some of these universities offer Summer or Winter ‘schools’ where you can study one or two units and make the most of your semester break.
Take a look at the destinations below and find a Summer/Winter School that sparks your interest.
Talk to your academic chair to find out if you can get credit towards your degree (perhaps for a ‘general elective’). Some of these programs might also cater for the MSP201 Real World Learning unit.
If you are eligible, you will be able to fund your overseas experience with an OS-HELP loan, which will be added towards your HECS debt.
