Other global opportunities

Are you looking for other global opportunities, besides those on offer through 360 International, or to pursue post-graduation? There are lots of different opportunities out there!

Although we don't support these opportunities directly, we have collated some of the other global opportunities that we are aware of, which you may be interested in to expand your horizons. These include independent study programmes, scholarships and awards, international summits and more.

Check out potential opportunities below. If any pique your interest please visit the corresponding links to find out more information.

Please note, these opportunities are not formally reviewed or endorsed by the University of Auckland so we advise that you research opportunities carefully to enrol at your own discretion. Unless funding is provided by the host institution or organisation, participation in these activities must be self-funded. 

Note, the following summer schools are available through partner institutions however they are not available through exchange. Full fees must be paid by participating students directly to the host institution. StudyLink is not available to support direct enrol experiences overseas, and applications for credit assessment should be discussed with the Faculty/Programme advisor, before an AS-15 form is submitted.
