Exchange insights from this week’s student ✨

Q: What courses are you taking while on exchange? 📚🌍

A: My courses at GEM were chosen for me, which is an important consideration when choosing where to study abroad. Since I’m at a business school with a focus on sustainability and international business, my classes reflect that really well. I’m also taking French, which has been so helpful when it comes to navigating daily life in France. 🇫🇷✨

Courses: Sustainable Entrepreneurship, Social Responsibility in International Business, International Macroeconomics, Geopolitics, Research Methods & Design, and French.

Our next student takeover is Ada! Ada is a fourth-year student studying Neuroscience with a minor in Management. She went abroad in her third-year winter semester to study at the University of Leeds.

Here’s what she has to say about her time on exchange:

I went on exchange because I wanted to experience living like a local in a different country. I picked Leeds because I wanted to be more central in Europe, which made it incredibly easy to travel during my studies. I lived on campus in Charles Morris Hall and met so many other exchange students through that. Leeds also has a lot of clubs, I met most of my British friends through the clubs I joined.

Living in a different country on your own teaches you a lot about yourself. I had amazing experiences, learned a lot about the world, and met lifelong friends from all over the world. I could not recommend exchange more!!

Before you go abroad, make sure you look into your visa requirements ✈️

In many cases, exchange students will need a student visa or equivalent to enter their host country, register at their host institution, and stay for the full academic term. Be sure to check messages from your host institution and review the website of your host country’s consulate or embassy in Canada for the most accurate information.

Some countries allow online applications, while others may require part of the process to be completed in person.

A key step before going abroad: your Learning Agreement / Letter of Permission 🌍📚

This document outlines the courses you plan to take at your host institution and how they may transfer back to Dal/King’s. Since the approval process can take several weeks, it’s important to start early and leave yourself enough time before the deadline.

Swipe to learn more about the process, key deadlines, and the steps to complete your Learning Agreement / Letter of Permission.

More information can be found in the Exchange and Study Abroad Handbook.

This week’s student takeover is Gabby! Gabby is a third-year student in Management, majoring in Entrepreneurship & Innovation. She spent her second semester on exchange at NEOMA Business School’s Rouen campus in France through the Faculty of Management.

Here’s what she has to say about her time on exchange:

My favourite memory from my abroad experience was meeting all the great people I got to know during my studies, living, and travelling. They truly made the experience so unique and unforgettable.

I’ve definitely learned so much from this experience, especially about myself. The world is so much bigger, and the possibilities are so incredibly endless. You learn so, so much through travel and are exposed to many crazy, eye-opening opportunities.

If I had any tips for students applying to study abroad, I would say everything will work out just as it needs to. There can be many nerves, especially when you don’t know anyone, but just be yourself and attend all of the school exchange activities, so many other people are looking to meet people as well! And always be open-minded. Adapting to a new culture can be tricky, so take your time and be intrigued.
