Graduate students interested in study on exchange at the University of California should contact Melbourne Global Mobility well in advance of the Melbourne application due date to discuss their possible exchange as special requirements exist for graduate exchange students to California. 'Lower Division' subjects (code prefixes range from 0-99) are equivalent to first year subjects at Melbourne, 'Upper Division' subjects (code prefixes range from 100-199) are equivalent to second and third year subjects and 'Graduate' subjects (code prefixes range from 200+)are fourth year and higher.

Students to the USA are strongly advised to apply by the December deadline for exchange studies beginning in our second semester of the following year. Students who do not apply to begin with the Northern Hemisphere academic year will have difficulty gaining access to their chosen subjects.
