Types of programs
UOW has a number of NCP Mobility Programs in 2026. Eligible students can receive an NCP mobility grant to participate in these programs. Students who are not eligible to receive an NCP grant may still take part as self-funded participant.
A number of UOW’s exchange partner institutions offer short courses/internships over summer or winter. Short courses at UOW partner institutions are not "exchanges", as students are required to pay fees directly to the host university for the program.
