  • Finding Love in Toronto

    “Some of the students come to stay here for a few months and are still here after 15 years! They meet someone in the house and fall in love”, Jess mentioned as she led me through the doorway across the wooden floor and into the office of the coop residency. Just one of the many…

  • Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands

    Hi! My name is Grace and I am a second year Journalism student currently studying at the Erasmus University Rotterdam in The Netherlands. Rotterdam is the second largest city in The Netherlands, and about an hour train ride (or a 4 euro flix bus) away from Amsterdam, home to many cute thrift stores, markets and…

  • Cardiff University, United Kingdom

    I hadn’t originally set out on an exchange in Wales. My initial thoughts for a semester abroad in the UK was assuming I would be studying in England instead. However, I’m now halfway through the semester and very glad I ended up here at Cardiff University. Cardiff is a relatively small city, (especially if you’re…

  • Chuo University, Japan

    Study life I am currently an exchange student at Chuo University in Tokyo, Japan where I am studying law. I am doing 6 law subjects, which is the equivalent of 18 UTS credit points, as well as 2 Japanese language classes. All these law subjects are taught in English, and I have done around five…

  • Ciao from Milano!

    My name is Andy, and I’m currently on exchange at Bocconi University in Milan. I am studying History of political institutions, Political regimes, Critical approaches to the arts and Politics of advanced democracies. These subjects are all free electives, as my degree is in engineering. As they are completely different to the subjects I have…

  • Aarhus School of Architecture, Denmark

    This summer I commenced a semester abroad at the Aarhus School of Architecture in Denmark. Unlike UTS, the school solely focuses on the discipline of architecture, resulting in an educational environment that intensely revolves around all things design and creativity. The school operates in a similar manner to a 9-5 workday with the expectation that…

  • Global Exchange in Beijing Institute of Technology, China

    The past 2 months have really flown by with juggling my studies to visiting tea/spa houses (one such tea house pictured below), travelling to different cities, finding new cafes and tasting the specialties of each region. Everything still feels fresh – the convenience stores around every corner, the huge malls, the dorm lifestyle, the cityscape,…

  • A perfect blend of academic life and laid-back coastal culture

    Studying abroad at San Diego State University (SDSU) has been a unique experience for me, especially when it comes to academics. I’m currently enrolled in four subjects spanning Communications (COM103), Sociology (SOC101), Exercise science (ENS330) and Economics (ECON 406). These subjects are not direct equivalents to what I’d typically study at UTS, but I deliberately…

  • Lund University, Sweden – Global Exchange

    Hej! As of writing this, autumn has fully set in here in Sweden. The days are getting shorter, trees are glowing with vibrant shades of orange, and the warmth of a sauna is increasingly tempting. I’m now halfway through my exchange and have completed two subjects. The teaching style here feels quite similar to Sydney,…
