The new International Experiential Learning Program at St. Thomas University is an opportunity for students to participate in short- and medium-term international experiences to complement their studies and enhance their personal and professional development. This new program allows St. Thomas to remove financial and support barriers for students to access global opportunities, and allows students to gain valuable skills and knowledge abroad that can be brought back to Canada. Students gain competencies related to cultural awareness, work experience and personal growth through internships and volunteering. This program includes extensive support before, during and after each experience.
