While you typically go on an internship or short-term programme over the summer break, the best time to go on an exchange will vary depending on your degree programme.
The official credit mapping process happens after you have been accepted to a Waikato Global Experiences Programme. You will be given the documentation used by the University of Waikato to confirm that the papers you take overseas will be credited to your degree upon your return.
If you are unsure how to map a global experience within your degree, we recommend meeting with one of our advisors to review your degree planner before you start an application.
