EDUCATION ABROAD
Opportunities
Studying abroad is about learning alongside people whose worldviews differ from your own. It’s about choosing an academic path that challenges you in new ways. It’s about opening doors.
International learning in 2022-2023
We are currently planning for 2022 and 2023 travel programs.
The application deadline to participate in an education abroad program in summer 2022, fall 2022 or winter 2023 is March 1, 2022. We can guide you through the process and provide information and support regarding possible travel risks. However, during this time, you need to be flexible, monitor the global situation and be prepared for changes in plans.
To find out more, please join one of our information sessions. Please attend an information session before booking an appointment with us.
Study and internship opportunities
Study
We offer two types of study abroad programs. If you choose the exchange option, you enrol at a partner institution as a full-time student for one or two terms. Summer programs also have an academic focus but are shorter, running for three weeks to two months.
Intern
We connect students with internship opportunities, which allow you to gain work experience abroad during your academic program. Internships usually run for two to four months over the summer or during semesters. Credit and non-credit internships are available.
