Overseas students sit in a group studying on campus.

The expansion of higher education learning abroad programs is one of the great success stories of international education in Australia. Global research now firmly establishes learning abroad as one of the most important experiences a student can access during their undergraduate study.

IEAA’s white paper, Learning Abroad in Australian Universities, outlines why learning abroad matters to Australian students, communities and institutions.

This white paper takes an evidence-based approach to six key outcomes of learning abroad:


  • Globally engaged leaders

  • Global citizens

  • Australia's relations with the world

  • Student experience

  • Employability and graduate outcomes

  • Driver for student recruitment.
