Exchange Agreement: An exchange partnership offers more than simply an opportunity for students to travel; the presence of students from partner institutions also serves to make the UOIT campus a more international place. Through interacting with incoming exchange students, students who remain here benefit from an enriched classroom experience. Students who take the opportunity to spend a term, or even a year, at a partner institution will return with new perspectives and a level of engagement that few other endeavours can foster.
Field School can be described as an extended field trip, group study tour, or an off-campus delivery of UOIT courses for a group of 12 - 20 students.
International Placement provides students with a unique opportunity to travel the world, while working in their specified field of study.
