The 2021 New Colombo Plan (NCP) Scholarships Program round is now underway.

The introduction of social distancing and remote learning had a significant impact on the students of UOW’s Tottenham Hotspur Global Football Program.

The New Colombo Plan is a signature initiative of the Australian Government which aims to lift knowledge of the Indo Pacific in Australia by supporting Australian undergraduates to study and undertake internships in the region.

The innovative player development programs, supported by some of the world’s best clubs, allow students to keep improving their game while studying for their future – achieving excellence on the field, in the classroom and in their future careers.

The Office of Global Student Mobility (OGSM) are excited to announce that applications are now open for UOW students to go on exchange in Autumn 2021.

As of 8 April 2020, the Office of Global Student Mobility have decided to officially postpone outbound exchange for Spring 2020.
