Please note:

One space = one semester (therefore a full year exchange = 2 spaces)
We have estimated the number of semester spaces available for U of G students at each exchange partner university as accurately as possible, but these numbers are subject to change.
For universities where it is noted that students can apply to go on exchange for 2 semesters, it is not guaranteed that we will be able to place students for the full academic year. This will depend on the number of students who apply for that university. If we are not able to place you for 2 semesters at your first choice university, we will ask you if you want to go there for only 1 semester or whether you prefer to be placed at an alternate university where 2 semesters is possible.
Australia & New Zealand: There are not many spots available for Australia and New Zealand which makes them very competitive. As selection often comes down to cumulative average, we do not recommend applying for Australia and New Zealand unless your cumulative average is at least 80%. To better improve your chances of being placed in a study abroad program, we recommend diversifying the destination countries you choose beyond highly competitive universities.
