Exchange

Prepare & plan

Studying at one of our partner schools in another country immersed in a different culture far from home can be a perspective-broadening, life-altering and meaningful experience. Is it right for you? Before you do anything else, make sure you are first eligible for a Go Global exchange. Scan program details and deadlines, look up transfer credit information and consider how to finance your experience abroad.

 

How to apply

Read Go Global eligibility criteria. Find tools to help you determine which program is the best fit for you and how to connect with us.

 

You've been matched

Learn how to prepare for your exchange after we have matched you to a Go Global program and what to expect before your exchange.

 

While you're away

Get tips on how to cope with academic and cultural adjustment, as well as whom to reach out to for help while abroad. Get started on your transfer credit while abroad and other recommended steps before returning. 

 

After you return

Welcome back! Share your experiences and observations with other students or become one of our Go Global Student Ambassadors, helping and inspiring UBC students considering an overseas exchange.
