A number of Politics and International Studies students take advantage of Bishop’s University’s International Exchange Program each year. An international exchange or internship is required for students in the International Studies Honours degree, while students in the major are strongly encouraged to consider an exchange during the course of their degree as well.

Students can experience another country and school for one term or for a full academic year. Courses abroad will be credited to their university degree.

For more information on the exchange program, please refer to the Student Exchange and Study Abroad Programs website.
