Opportunities for University of Winnipeg Students to Study Abroad

If you missed our information session and would like to know more about studying abroad, see the Study Abroad Information Session [PDF] handout.

To apply for an exchange, please fill out the Application Packet for Exchanges [PDF].

NOTE:  If you are interested in going abroad during any term in the 2012-2013 year, you must apply by March 1, 2012.  Students interested in going to Bamberg, Germany must apply by January 17, 2012. 

Exchange Programs

Exchange Programs offer students the opportunity to study in another university while retaining University of Winnipeg student status. Tuition is paid to UWinnipeg, not the host university, and UWinnipeg awards, scholarships, and student loans still apply. Students pay travel costs, health insurance, visa fees and living expenses.   The International Admissions Coordinator assists with various administrative aspects of the exchange.

In order to qualify, students must have completed a minimum of 30 credit hours, have a good academic record, provide three letters of reference recommending them to the exchange program, and submit a brief, personal written statement.

An advantage to studying abroad as an Exchange student is the lower tuition costs and built-in partnership supports.
