About
The Westpac Asian Exchange Scholarship supports students who are interested in Asia and want to actively contribute to Australia’s success in Asia in their chosen field. It provides the opportunity to:
- Study at a UQ exchange partner in Singapore, Japan, China, Hong Kong SAR, South Korea, or Taiwan for up to two semesters.
- Develop global leadership skills by participating in a leadership development program before starting your exchange.
A greater understanding of Asian culture, markets, and languages will be vital to building stronger business and cultural connections across the region. Australia will need future leaders connected to those markets, and Asia literacy will be critical to harnessing these opportunities in our region.
With a professionally-oriented focus, this scholarship will give you the skills and knowledge you need to become a leader in Australia’s relationship with Asia. The experience of studying abroad in one of the world’s most dynamic regions will be invaluable as you enter the workforce and help you forge strong connections with potential employers and colleagues alike. So if you’re looking for an edge in your professional career, the Westpac Asian Exchange Scholarship is the perfect opportunity.

- Are you an Australian citizen or permanent resident
