Education Abroad Opportunities for MacEwan University Students
Taking part in an education abroad program will have a great impact on your personal, academic, and professional life. You will not only learn about and better understand other cultures, but you will also learn about yourself and your abilities and gain new skills. It is a great opportunity to make friends from all over the world and start a network of like-minded people for your future career. While abroad, you will encounter different ways of thinking and doing and gain new perspectives. All of this will have a positive impact on your academic experience.
-
Exchange programs take you to one of our partner institutions for one or two terms to study full-time while paying your regular tuition to MacEwan University. Most students are eligible to earn transfer credits for courses taken while on exchange.
-
Summer programs are short-term academic programs at our partner institutions. Summer programs can last from three weeks to two months and you may earn transfer credits toward your MacEwan University degree or diploma program.
-
Internships allow you to gain work experience abroad during your academic program. They usually are between two and four months in length and are over the summer or during semesters. Credited and non-credited internships are available. Subscribe to our newsletter for upcoming internship opportunities.
- Study tours are MacEwan courses taught abroad and led by faculty. Credit is awarded directly by MacEwan University. Study tours combine fieldwork, lectures, and site visits to deliver a comprehensive academic experience. Study tours can be several weeks in length.
