Visiting Research Practicum Program
The Visiting Research Practicum Program is designed for students from overseas universities who wish to come to UOW to obtain unpaid, research experience or professional/industrial practice with a UOW research team. This professional practicum is for a limited period of up to two years in duration (usually between three and six months) and should be a formal requirement for the award of a degree at the student's home university.
Before submitting an application, applicants must contact the relevant Academic Unit/Research Unit and negotiate with a member of the UOW academic staff to supervise their project. Participants are visitors to the University of Wollongong and will therefore not be formally enrolled as students. As a result of not being enrolled, participants must provide their own health insurance and also be covered by their home univeristies liability insurance. Participants will have internet access and access to the UOW library while completing their research.
Particpants will not receive formal results or an academic transcript from the UOW.
Participants in this program will enter Australia on an Occupational Trainee Visa. Participants must obtain this visa prior to departure from their home country. Information about the Occupational Visa can be obtained by going to: www.immi.gov.au.
Participants must pay an application fee before visa paperwork can be issued by the University of Wollongong.
Further information and application forms may be obtained from the Study Abroad & Exchange Office. Email studyabroad@uow.edu.au
