About the Courses
Course Details
Courses are generally small in size, with only around 15-25 students participating in each course. This means that you’ll have amazing opportunities to connect with your professor and fellow students.
These courses are generally a mix of in-class learning and site visits. Some summer abroad courses even include overnight or weekend trips!
Course Eligibility
Every undergraduate LA&PS student (Canadian or international) in good academic standing can participate if the course requirements are met. International Bachelor of Arts (iBA) students must study abroad on an academic exchange.
Students from other Faculties may also be eligible to apply for LA&PS summer study abroad courses if they meet course requirements and pre-requisites.
Summer Courses
Summer abroad courses take place during the Summer term (May-August). Check the specific course you’re interested in to see when it is offered.

Hear from our students!
I am so grateful for the connections I have made during this trip. If you are a student (like me) who feels they are struggling with meeting people at school, this trip is a great opportunity to change that! Connecting with people after 3 long years of isolation has been an amazing experience, and I would recommend that any student on any program look at all of the study abroad opportunities. Don't be nervous if the course isn't about something you're not familiar with, the trip is about much more than that.”
