Overview
 The Scholar Ship is a recognized academic program aboard a transformed passenger ship hosting both undergraduate and postgraduate students on semester-long voyages around the world. Participants from diverse cultural backgrounds come together to co-create a transnational learning community that develops their intercultural competence and fosters lifelong friendships.
The Scholar Ship embarks on a semester-long journey around the world twice a year, commencing each January and September. Itineraries vary from voyage to voyage, but all are planned to provide engaging learning experiences through a port program that complements the curriculum onboard.
Academic Credit
Academic credit is available.
On behalf of the Consortium, Macquarie University has been designated to award academic credit and issue academic transcripts to students who successfully complete The Scholar Ship program. Students are strongly encouraged to consult an appropriate university administrator on their home campus to confirm that these credits may be counted towards their degree or graduation.
Eligibility
Undergraduate applicants must demonstrate proof of completion (or anticipated completion) of a minimum of one year of university study prior to the voyage.
Postgraduate applicants must have earned (or anticipate earning) a minimum of a bachelors degree (or equivalent) prior to the voyage.
All applicants for whom English is not their native language must demonstrate proficiency in English and be prepared to succeed in a rigorous academic environment.
Preference is given to students whose academic results are above average in their nations system.
International Baccalaureate Diploma graduates who have not yet commenced university study are nevertheless eligible to participate in the TSS undergraduate program. Subject selection is restricted to the two Core and two specified first-year level General and Business subjects.
Some advanced subjects require a prior level knowledge in order to enroll.
Students applying for admission to the Postgraduate International Business Learning Circle must have an undergraduate background in business. (See website)
