About ESE

Equal Student Exchange (ESE) is a volunteer-based student network which provides free information about student exchange and study overseas opportunities.

Focusing on providing information to students from developing countries, ESE acknowledges the financial and organisational obstacles these students must often come to face. It is the belief of ESE that both universities and students can benefit through international engagement. A more culturally diverse range of international students will contribute to the continued exchange of knowledge, ideas and culture between different universities and countries.

The volunteers of ESE recognize the importance of establishing enduring educational, cultural and professional links through student exchange.

About Us


Equal Student Exchange (ESE)
ESE is a network made up of students who want to help make student exchange a more equal process. We hope to do this by assisting students from developing countries gain access to information about study and scholarship opportunities overseas. 

Issues and Challenges
It is often very difficult for students from developing countries to gain access to travel/study/exchange programs overseas, mainly because of the financial costs and a lack of information. Disparities in exchange rates, purchasing power, language requirements and other forms of structural inequality all represent obstacles to students from developing countries. 

Information provider
ESE primarily acts as an information provider. Through delivering up to date information about overseas study programs and scholarship ESE hopes to assist students from developing countries overcome the obstacles which prevent them from studying overseas. By providing this kind of information, we also put students who are interested, in contact with organisations who can sponsor them or provide scholarships for their study.

ESE provides free information and advice for students who want to join study/vocational programs overseas.  This may include advice about: 
  • International Universities
  • Scholarships
  • Study abroad programs
  • Student exchange
  • Costs and fees (travel/living/study) 
  • Possible support through scholarships and grants
  • General tourism information

Benefits and Opportunities
This is an opportunity to bring local and international students together, make new friends and give students from developing countries the same opportunities that are enjoyed by students from developed countries.
