Transfer Credits

With this program, students enroll in courses at a partner (host) institution. You will need to transfer the credits you earn abroad back to 天天吃瓜.

Upon successful completion of the program, the host institution will issue you an official transcript, which will be needed for the credit transfer process. You must earn passing grades on your courses for the credits to transfer.

Prior to departure, students will meet with their academic advisor to complete a Transfer Course Planning (TCP) Form, which will outline the courses you plan to take while abroad and how the courses will transfer to 天天吃瓜. Some courses have already been pre-approved for transfer to KSU and can be viewed on the Transfer Credit Guide. Please note that this is only a guide and is NOT a comprehensive list of courses available at each partner institution. 

Credit Approval

Prior to departure, it is the student's responsibility to meet with their academic advisor to discuss the courses they plan to take while abroad. If a course needs to be evaluated for transfer, the student is responsible for working with their education abroad advisor to obtain the syllabus and have it reviewed by KSU faculty.

Location

Sydney is the capital city of the New South Wales state, and contrary to what many people think, is not the capital of Australia (Canberra is!). 

Beautiful classic monuments and landmarks of the city include the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, and the stunning Bondi Beach. There are so many places to visit and so much to do, that you will never feel bored! Sydney is a very international city as well, and it has influences from various countries in the East and West.

Airports

Sydney International Airport is approximately half an hour from UTS via public transportation or 20 minutes by car. UTS offers an airport pickup service for newly arriving students.

Local Transportation

Students have a variety of options for navigating the city such as buses and trains.

Housing

As an exchange student in Sydney, it is strongly recommended to live on campus. UTS Housing provides stress-free, fun, and supportive accommodation. Living in the city center, you鈥檒l be just a few minutes from class as well as shops or restaurants, and the beach is only a bus ride away.

Accommodation styles vary in order to cater to individual needs and preferences, ranging from shared apartments (2-9 bedrooms) or studio apartments. Regardless of which living style you choose, all options offer modern, fully-furnished and self-catered facilities for residents. There is no meal plan offered with this study abroad program, so you can prepare your food at home or eat out any time.

Visa Information

A visa is a document required by many countries, in addition to your passport, that allows you to enter the country for a certain purpose (whether that鈥檚 to stay, transit, or exit). Essentially, it is the country's government giving you legal permission to enter their country to travel, study, work, etc.

Please note, it is solely the responsibility of the student to: 

  • determine the entry, transit, and stay requirements for the country or countries to which they will travel,
  • and to apply for any necessary visas, stay permits, or any other immigration requirements of the host nation(s).

It is also the responsibility of the student to:

  • verify the correct documentation required to apply for the required visa(s), 
  • apply for the visa(s) early enough to ensure there is enough processing time,
  • and pay any fees associated with obtaining the visa(s).

天天吃瓜's Office of Global Education is available to provide general guidance regarding student visa requirements and procedures; however, each student who travels abroad is expected to manage their own legal obligations regarding international travel.

It is strongly recommended by the Office of Global Education that you carefully review the appropriate consulate or embassy website for the nation(s) you plan to visit in order to determine current entry/study/exit visa requirements.
