Study away
A coloured globe lamp hangs in the entranceway of thr Arts Building.

Studying away from McGill is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity whose benefits can go far beyond academic learning. The opportunity to study at another university can add significant dimensions to your undergraduate education by enabling you to develop broader perspectives on your fields of study, to enhance skills in cross-cultural communication and critical thinking applicable to your everyday life and provide you with a chance for personal growth.
Study-Away Options:
- Summer Studies @ Another University
- Independent Study Away (on your own) for 2009/10
- McGill Student Exchange Programs for 2010/11
- Study @ another Quebec University (IUT)
