Explore a short-term academic program overseas
Enhance your education and employability by participating in a short-term academic program or placement with other Murdoch students from your discipline.
You’ll get to experience new cultures while building real-world experience in your field of study. A study tour gives you the opportunity to:
- relate your education to real-world experiences
- make industry contacts
- build international networks

Many of the study tours have New Colombo Plan funding that will be allocated to eligible students to assist with financing participation.
