Study in Australia (in English) - ISEP Exchange
As an ISEP student, you can build your own program by choosing your courses from a variety of fields. See below for course options and how to choose your units!
For students interested in TV and radio production, the Penrith campus offers state-of-the-art studios and is also the home base for production of the actual station “Television Sydney.”

Please note that as of Jul 1, 2026 the cost for an Australian visa has increased to AUD $2,050 (approximately USD $1,330).
Course Description
Remember that this site operates on the Southern Hemisphere calendar! Be sure to search for courses using the correct semester parameters: Southern Hemisphere SM1 (NH SM2) is March to June; Southern hemisphere SM2 (NH SM1) is July to November.
To search units to take at Western Sydney, please use the Western Sydney Online Handbook.
The Western Sydney academic year begins in Autumn (March) and concludes after the Spring (July) semester. As such, the Online Handbook for the following academic year will not likely be available until late in the year. Please ensure that you will have met the prerequisite for any unit you intend to take by the time you commence your study at Western Sydney so that we can seek the relevant academic approval to secure your unit selection.
Academics
Other Academic Conditions
Some units may have prerequisites (e.g. education and psychology). Medicine and Nursing courses are closed to ISEP participants.
IMPORTANT: Not all fields of study are offered at all campuses. Cross-campus enrollment is not allowed, so students should be sure to look into the correct campus for their field of study. Please research at least four units (classes) to take during the semester with one or two backups in case these are not available.
This site operates on the Southern Hemisphere calendar. Be sure to search for courses using the correct semester parameters: Southern Hemisphere SM1 is February to June; Southern Hemisphere SM2 is July to November.
If you are planning to study for a full-year in Australia, you should consider starting your program at the beginning of WSU’s academic year in February.
Students are responsible for staying until the end of the semester and may not leave before the final date of their semester exams. Neither ISEP nor WSU can guarantee an early departure and special exams are not available; leaving early may result in a failing exam grade and/or forfeit of credit.
