Hear from previous exchange students

Cameron Cosgrove

Mechanical Engineering student

Studying at Clemson University in South Carolina, USA truly was the best 6 months of my life. During my time on exchange I met some amazing characters and friends for life. I was able to learn and immerse myself in the true American College experience. This type of opportunity was great for me as a person but also allowing me to become a better and more rounded engineer.
Magdalena Gadermayer

Exchange to Simon Fraser University, Canada

The best thing about the exchange was the many outdoor activities, the very welcoming people and all the support you got from study advisers, GPS buddies and professors. I made great friends from all over the world who I hope to stay in contact with!
Alana Harrison

4th Year Aero-Mechanical Engineering student

For my third year study abroad programme I spent semester two of my year studying Aerospace Engineering at RMIT, the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Melbourne, Australia. It gave me the ideal opportunity to accomplish many of my dreams from travelling, by visiting New Zealand, Thailand and Fiji amongst others but most importantly it has developed and given me so many personal qualities and skills that I feel I will be able to use for the rest of my life.
