This is an excellent opportunity for those who desire a change of environment as well as a different perspective on actuarial courses. The student will find these different emphases challenging as well as beneficial to the overall Actuarial degree. As well, each university offers a host of courses that are not available at the other. This will aid in broadening the student's horizons. A quota of five students per year from each university has been fixed.
Students pay tuition fees at their own university while they study at the host university.
The exchange program has run successfully for the past few years and has left its participants with very worthwhile experiences and memories. This initiated the idea for the exchange program. The first exchange was held in 1993 and it proved to be a great success. Furthermore, the exchange program's innovative nature creates a dynamic partnership between Qu bec and France. Students are rewarded with a unique opportunity to experience the differences in actuarial practices in a foreign country.
