Bilingual International Studies | Glendon Campus

Get prepared to make a difference as you take a deep dive into the ways political, legal, business, social, economic and environmental issues shape our world. In Canada’s first bilingual International Studies degree, you’ll experience a degree without borders – whether you choose our unique iBA degree, undertake an international exchange or internship, or work on our award-winning International Studies Student Symposium. Further curate your program by concentrating on a specific aspect of International Studies: Culture and International Civil Society, Globalisation and International Business, or Peace, Security, and Diplomacy. Whatever you choose to study, you’ll be challenged to think and plan constructively toward the creation of a better, more secure, more peaceful, humane and just world order.
