Once you have completed your studies, you will be returning to your home country. This information site provides answers to some frequently asked questions about preparing to return home.
Before you return home, there are many arrangements you will need to make. To help you with these arrangements, staff at the Learning and Teaching Unit have developed a Going Home online workshop.
For further information contact International student services at the Learning and Teaching Unit or email your query to LTU@unisa.edu.au
At the appropriate time, the Graduation Office will send you an application form for Conferment of Award. You should return this to the Graduation Office by the due date. It will also be necessary for you to give Campus Central your address in your home country for their records.
When you first came to Australia you needed to adjust to a different life and culture. When you return home it could also take time to readjust to life in your country. This is called re-entry or reverse culture shock. Adjustments you will need to make may include:
Thinking about the kinds of readjustments you may experience and talking to someone about your expectations about going home can help with the transition.
If you find it difficult to cope once you return home, and you would like to talk about this with someone, email or phone the Learning and Teaching Unit on your home campus.
