This may be a consequence of growing numbers of international
students on campus, an increasingly mobile Australian population or a
global trend of young people seeking meaningful opportunities outside of
their home context. It is most likely a combination of factors,
including an increased focus of university and government policy makers
and practitioners to making learning abroad more academically
accessible, more affordable and less complicated.
This paper provides an overview of the current context of learning
abroad at Australian universities and the policies and practices that
support the participation of students in these programs.
