BENEFITS OF STUDY ABROAD
Studying abroad allows students to gain exposure to another country's culture and perspective on doing business, including insight into its social, political and legal methods and environments. Through the school's extensive academic exchanges, Schulich students have rich and exciting opportunities to build on the knowledge of the international aspects of business they gain in their required foundation courses.
The school has worked to develop exchange partnerships with more than 70 leading management education schools around the world to offer a unique international academic experience to complement studies at Schulich. Moreover, studying abroad offers students experiential learning in cross-cultural communications, the opportunity to build a global network and the possibility to create future international career opportunities.
An Exchange Fair is held at Schulich in early October where current exchange students and Schulich students who have returned from exchange showcase Schulich’s exchange partner schools. Information sessions on the exchange application process and experience follow later in the Fall term (early in the Winter term for MBA students starting their program in January). Read on to learn more about studying abroad at Schulich’s exchange partner schools. Also visit the Resource Library located in the International Relations Office (Room W263).
