With partner institutions in more than 100 countries, it can be difficult to choose. Please visit the International Exchange official page first to see if you can find what you are looking for:

Friendly tips
- You may also try a Google search using the unit code or unit title plus the name of the institution.
These additional pointers can help you plan for an exchange that best suits you and your course of study:
1. Look out for institutions offering similar course. There’s a higher chance that these institutions offer matching units and can be helpful if you have limited elective units available for an exchange semester.
2. Find institutions with an equivalent credit that works for you. Each partner institution’s units will have its own credit value. Be careful to ensure that the institutions you choose have a good credit ratio balance as that will enable you to meet the 18 or 24 Monash credit points required for you to complete your semester
There are two types of approved units you may include in your Smartsheet study plan. If you are submitting a combination of core and elective units for assessment, we encourage that you place elective units higher in order of preference, followed by the core unit.
- Save your electives and take all elective units during your exchange since electives are much easier to find and you can choose from a much greater range of units compared to IT core units.
