Going abroad can add value to your degree by supporting the development of new skills, building your international network and expanding your views and opportunities.
Over 50% of our Global Business and Digital Arts students pursue a term abroad in either their first study term of year 3 or their first study term of year 4.
Am I eligible to go on exchange and when can I go?
GBDA students who obtain both a 70% minimum average in their major and 70% minimum overall and have completed 2 years university by the time of exchange are eligible to participate. Do note: Some of our exchange programs require language background. You may want to consider taking a language course prior to your exchange.
GBDA Students: Please see the Go Abroad website to learn more about how an exchange can complement your degree!
*Students begin the Go Abroad process in second year (2A).
The Process
The GBDA Go Abroad process is a collaboration facilitated between the Stratford School, the Student Success Office and your host university. Please refer to the following information regularly.
