I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but in the US it's pretty common to go abroad for a semester of university. You still get credits for your home university, but you get to live and take classes in Europe (or wherever). I went to Copenhagen, Denmark, and though I don't speak Danish, it was never a problem. The Danes are really friendly and speak English better than I do, and I'm a native speaker.

The address for the program I did is here:

You can either stay in a dorm, apartment, or live with Danes in a home. It's an alternative to those who'd rather be on the continent but don't have another language beyond English.

ive a few friends that have done this. here in the states you can do up to a year abroad and tuition is the same as the school your attending in the states. you pay tuition to the school your at here stateside and you dont have to worry about it abroad.

not sure if it works the same way in oz but i would think its similar. go to one you have to learn a new language. its more fun or so i hear. ive never done it but i think i am going to when i get my Gen Ed out of the way and start on my upper division.

im doing it next year, dont know if to holland, spain or argentina...


prob spain.

Talk to your Uni. My husband, who is Australian has the whole HECS thing and he went to Germany (where we met, I am American) and he paid the regular Uni tution and he also had to pay the German's Uni fee even though he was on a Uni exchange program. Also your Uni may tell you that you need certain classes depending on the country. For example, I was able to take the easiest classes that were possible, meanwhile he had to take seminars and stuff or else he wouldn't get the units (AKA credits). So I had an easier work study abroad load, while he was doing regular work like a German Uni student.

There are tons of scholarships to get and I suggest talking to someone at your Uni, where you would get more info.

your Uni, if reputable has programs.

I went to Uppsala, Sweden and most of the other English natives were from Canada or Australia. Perth and the lot. I highly recommend Sweden, however it is not in central Europe, but Ryan Air flew almost anywhere cheaply. And I just love Sweden|

Would't I have trouble studying at a Uni in a country that doesn't speak English as their primary language though, since the lectures would be in their primary language?

You'd have trouble in some countries -- particularly France. However, the Denmark program I did was taught in English, and included a variety of different disciplines. There are programs in Germany as well in English, and I think Central European University (in Hungary) has an English program too. Just look around. What are you interested in studying?
