Frequently Asked Questions
I. CHOOSING A PROGRAM AND APPLICATION PROCESS:
Being away from home gives you the confidence and valuable life skills that will stand you in good stead, personally and professionally. You’ll learn a lot about yourself during this transformative experience and return home with an enhanced academic and real-world education. Apart from the educational benefits, studying abroad can enhance your future career prospects. Employers nowadays are looking for people who are adaptable and who can communicate well across cultures. In an increasingly globalised workplace, inter-cultural fluency is a sought-after attribute. Studying, as opposed to just travelling, in another country will expose you to a global mindset and a new style of education. You can fully interact, learn to understand different world views and better articulate your own.
Most programs require students to have at least sophomore standing upon commencement of the program; some programs require junior status. Think about your degree plans and speak to your Academic Advisor when deciding what would be the best time and program for you.

II. ELIGIBILITY:
Yes. Students must have at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA in order to apply for study abroad/exchange programs. Some programs may require higher GPA due to their academic rigor and/or host institution requirements. Please check with your Academic Advisor for the latest information.
Yes for English, as all programs offered in our Exchange Programs are conducted in this language. The minimum English requirement to participate in any Exchange Program is IELTS 6.0 or equivalent. However, you do not need to know any other foreign languages (but it could be a plus for life abroad wherever you go).
