With over 100 student exchange agreements, we’ve made it more convenient for exchange students to attend the University of Waterloo while still paying tuition to their home school.
Students from around the world come to the University of Waterloo on exchange or study abroad for many reasons:
- To attend Canada's most innovative university (for the past 27 years)
- To have a unique international experience that is safe and supportive
- To make friendships and have experiences that will last a lifetime
Term dates
We operate on a trimester system with a full fall, winter, and spring term. Each term is four months. Exchange students can only study for one term.
| Eligible Exchange Terms | Term Dates |
|---|---|
| Fall | Beginning of September - End of December |
| Winter | Beginning of January - End of April |
| Spring | Beginning of May - Mid August |
