Undergraduate students in Arts and Science at Queen's have access to a wide range of study abroad opportunities. Exchange programs are an example of one specific type of study abroad opportunity, but we encourage students to explore the diverse opportunities available in order to determine which options best meet their needs and interests. The LOP ensures that you will be able to transfer your credits back to your degree program when you return to Queen's, and enables us to offer you pre-departure assistance which may be useful in preparing for your sojourn abroad. Student Exchanges Exchange programs are established by formal agreements which enable you to study at another institution, while paying tuition to your home university. Students apply in the Winter term of their second year for placements in their third year of study.
Classes are generally available in English, unless otherwise indicated.
Because of the high demand for exchanges at Queen's, the application process is competitive, and placements cannot be guaranteed for all qualified applicants. Also check with your department to see if they offer exchanges specifically for students in your department or area of study. A unique program is available for students wishing to spend their first year of university studies overseas, and may be requested at the time of application for admission to a degree program at Queen's. Students pay an inclusive program fee which includes tuition, accommodation, most meals, and an extensive field studies program. All courses are fully-accredited by Queen's, and appear on your Queen's transcript.
