Participating in a short-term global experience can be expensive, particularly if you choose to participate as a not-for-credit student.

Depending on the length of your program, we estimate it will cost **$5,000-14,000 AUD** to cover host experience fees, flights, visas, insurance, travel and living expenses.

It is important to draft a budget to ensure you can afford to participate.
