Exchange programs
An exchange enables you to spend a summer, semester, or year at one of 200+ partner universities worldwide without paying international student tuition (simply continue to pay your regular University of Calgary tuition). You earn credit toward your degree, including credit for courses that are not offered by the University of Calgary. If you are a full-time, degree-seeking UCalgary student who will be finished at least 10 courses before you go (and have a minimum GPA of 2.5), we've got programs for you. Exchanges allow you to plan your own experience: choose your ideal host universities and courses, and enjoy the freedom to learn and explore the world at your own pace. Review the deadlines and "How to Apply" section of each program page for more information.
Group Study Programs
Spend one to six weeks abroad on a faculty-led program; instructors are your experienced guide, coordinator, and teacher on our culturally immersive Group Study Programs. Gain University of Calgary calendared course credits on one of the 30+ programs offered each year and meet new friends in a personal, small class environment. If you are a student who will be finished at least 10 courses before you go (in good academic standing), you are welcome to apply. Many programs are also open to Visiting and Open Studies students. Join an experiential group learning adventure that’s conveniently planned out for you - with new programs offered each year! Review group study application instructions on each program page before applying.
