Study Abroad - Outbound Exchange
Are you a UWinnipeg student who wants to study abroad and explore the world? Studying in another country offers students the unique opportunity to attend a university for one or two terms in another part of the world, while retaining UWinnipeg student status.
Where Can I Go?
Your first step should be to research countries, universities, and programs that may be of interest. The University of Winnipeg has several partners across the world where we offer exchange programs. Click here for a complete list of our exchange partners. Here are some examples of places you could visit:
- Australia
- Brazil
- Czech Republic
- Denmark
- France
- Germany
- Japan
- Norway
- South Korea
- United Kingdom
- And many more!
As we aim to make exchange opportunities accessible for all, you may choose to let us know on the application form of any accessibility needs/services you may require during an exchange, so that we can assist in finding a suitable host university to suit your required accommodations. If you would like to discuss prior to the application deadline, you can reach us at exchange@uwinnipeg.ca. Disclosing details about any required accommodations will have no impact on the selection process for the exchange program and your comments will not be shared outside of the UW Exchange Office.
