Programs

TRU students can participate in a range of education abroad opportunities such as Student Exchange, Field School, Co-operative Education, and for many other learning opportunities.

International opportunities

Study Abroad

The Study Abroad program allows students to live and study in a different country for one or two semesters.

With over 40 countries to consider, students can choose from a wide range of programs and locations to meet their needs through TRU Bilateral Exchange and the International Student Exchange Program (ISEP).

Field School

A field school is a group of TRU students who travel abroad together under the leadership of a TRU faculty member. Schools range from two to eight weeks, depending on the discipline, and include work prior to departure and upon return.

Field school offerings differ each year and are offered at different times.

Short-term Summer Programs

Yet another great way to travel and experience another culture for credit or non-credit is through a summer program. If you are not able to participate in a full semester abroad, or if you are not sure you are ready to commit to one, a summer program offers a shorter, more flexible international experience!

Many of our Bilateral exchange partner institutions offer two, three, four, and six week summer programs during the months of May, June, July and August. These short-term opportunities may include housing, some meals, and cultural activities, making them a convenient and immersive way to study abroad.

Your Journey, Your World! Begin your international adventure with a short-term program and discover all that studying abroad can offer!

Other off-campus mobility opportunities

Co-op Abroad

All TRU students within the Co-op program have the opportunity to learn more about International Co-op Abroad placements. Students considering working overseas should allow up to eight months prior to departure for planning. Students wishing to participate in a Co-op Abroad should be aware there are limited locations at this time to travel to and select from.

First step is to speak with a Co-op coordinator OR follow the link to the TRU Co-op webpages.

The Ministry of Post Secondary Education and Future Skills has additional information to support students in learning more about working abroad.

Conference, practicum, research, internships, directed studies

At TRU, students do have the opportunity to attend International conferences, participate on an internship with another university and or undertake a course under the guidance of a faculty member, which is very individualized and tailored specifically to a student’s special interests.

Students have undertaken these types of opportunities internationally in such diverse locations as Antarctica, Sri Lanka and Peru.
