Gap experience
International 'Gap Year' Experience Program
You're preparing to make some of the biggest decisions of your life so far. Maybe you're studying hard, or perhaps preparing for an exam, or just pondering your future in general; either way you're approaching the question: what now? If the answer eludes you at this point, we may have the perfect solution. A chance to travel, learn and make a difference in both the world and in your UniSA degree. Interested? We thought so...
The UniSA Gap Experience program is a unique and innovative gap year option, offering future students who have deferred their place at uni the chance to travel overseas, and gain invaluable work experience in a developing country.
You will have the opportunity to work in a plethora of fields. You could find yourself teaching English to Nepalese school children, working with Ecuadorian street kids or assisting with the building and improvement of school facilities in Tanzania.
And, our accredited provider - Antipodeans Abroad will take care of your accommodation and fully equip you with a two day intensive training course, which covers health and safety, responsible travel, teaching workshops and has loads of information from past gap year participants to prepare and inspire you for the biggest experience of your life!
But wait, there's more... After all of this cultural and personal enrichment, if you choose to study with UniSA you will be gaining an educational advantage too.
If you subsequently enrol at UniSA after completing the program you will receive credit of 4.5 units (one course), provided you are entering programs in the Divisions of Business or Education, Arts and Social Sciences*, attend the two day UniSA pre-departure workshop and complete the required assessment with a pass grading. You will also be eligible to receive a $1000 student mobility grant once you've completed the Gap Experience program.
