The student must have completed at least 240 credit points in their course before enrolling. Enrolment in this unit requires approval from the Federation University course coordinator.

<p>Undergraduate students who are enrolled in the third year of a degree in Humanities and/or Social Sciences will travel to an international location and participate in an approved* study program at an approved* host institution. Students are required to have completed at least 240 credit points of their degree at Federation University Australia before enrolling in the unit. The study undertaken abroad will typically comprise a minimum of 24 hours of formal face-face instruction and associated assessment tasks. Students will typically live on campus at the host institution and study alongside international peers. They will thus have a first-hand study experience in an international location. Students will have the opportunity to form international connections that may inform their future studies and career choices. Exposure to an international learning environment will enhance their skills and knowledge, building on and extending their other studies. *The studies undertaken abroad require approval of the relevant Course Coordinator at Federation University. The specific content, sequence and timing of topics will depend on the approved studies and the host institution.</p>
