Study Abroad

Exchange students study for one semester at a partner institution while paying tuition to Langara and earning credits that transfer back to their transcript. As an exchange student, you experience a different country through educational and cultural experiences that help develop a deeper understanding of yourself and those around you. It’s an opportunity to expand your world-view and build longlasting international relationships. these programs are open to Canadian citizens and permanent residents. 

Expand your learning experience through Field Studies and Field Schools. Our programs allow you to participate in credit or non-credit courses with a range of durations at different destinations. Applicants must be 19+ at least two weeks prior to departure. 

Some courses at Langara offer a classroom virtual exchange with a partner institution in another part of the world. Using different communication technologies, students from different countries complete shared assignments and projects, with faculty members from each country co-teaching and managing coursework. These courses help students develop intercultural competencies that are needed for success in today’s world and workforce.
