Scholarships help students flock to foreign shores
This year, around 400 students are doing the semester exchange and 150 are on short-term programs.
Mr Ireland encourages students to take part in international exchanges, saying it gives them a greater sense of independence and can often be a very significant step towards adulthood.
"It gives them a point of difference in their developing careers and landing their first job," he adds.
There are also academic benefits. "Students are introduced to different ideas in the classroom, different teaching methods or they may be learning from experts in the field internationally," says Mr Ireland.
If students go on exchange to a country where English is not spoken as the first language, they also have the chance to pick up at least the basics in a six-month exchange. "It adds another string to your bow," says Mr Ireland.
Macquarie University student Sandra Soliman, 21, who returned from a semester in Ottawa, Canada in April this year, says the experience was "amazing personally, culturally and academically".
"My favourite part was growing as a person, learning about myself and developing a new sense of cultural literacy. Observing and studying Canadian law was also really interesting," says the fourth year bachelor of arts and law student.
