In response to the increasing demand in all academic disciplines for world-wide collaboration and communication, the International Student Exchange Office (ISXO) seeks to provide U of T students with international and Canadian exchange opportunities, in order for them to gain a better understanding of the cultures, values, and lifestyles found across borders.

Students of all faculties and departments can participate in the international and Candian exchanges offered through the International Student Exchange Office (ISXO). Exchange programs operate under formal agreements between U of T and partner universities abroad and in Canada. University of Toronto students who participate in the exchange programs will pay full-time tuition and compulsory incidental fees only to U of T, and not to the host university while studying at one of our partner universities. Some exchange participants may be able to complete their degree requirements while studying elsewhere, but most return to Toronto and finish their studies here after the duration of the exchange.

International exchanges include universities in Australia, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Israel, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, Sweden, Taiwan, and the Netherlands. Students accepted into an international exchange program are eligible to apply for the ISXO Bursary. Additional awards are available for some exchanges.

Check out the ISXO website at http://cie.utoronto.ca/ for more information about these exchange programs.

The Canadian exchange program for Graduate students is in partnership with the University of British Columbia and is administered through the Student Services offices at the School of Graduate Studies.
