Apply for a short-term experience
So you're ready to apply for a short-term global experience?
Before applying, talk to an academic advisor, confirm your eligibility and create a budget to confirm you can afford to participate. You can only submit one application per application round. If you are unsure which global experience you wish to apply to, speak with an Internships and Global Experiences Coordinator.
To walk you through the process, download the short-term program checklist.
Winter 2022 Short-term Study Experiences
Applications for Winter 2022 Short-term Study and Internships experiences will open in January 2022.
A final decision to proceed with the in-person global experiences will be made by late March 2022, based on government health regulations and/or travel restrictions at the time.
The health and safety of our students is a top priority, and this approach allows us to start planning these exciting opportunities whilst maintaining the flexibility to adjust our plans.
