The International Education Centre (IEC) is your first point of contact for international education support, including assistance with immigration and the University Health Insurance Plan. You can also attend internationally focused events and programs that allow you to meet others who share the same interests, provide peer-to-peer support, and get connected to our community.

Want to travel to Italy to learn about the history of food, or conduct field research in Cambodia? UTM Abroad offers a variety of academic and co-curricular experiences in several countries every year. You can also go on an exchange with one of our 120+ partner institutions in over 40 countries, all while earning credits towards your degree. We also offer specialized Global Scholar courses that allow you to acquire many of the insights and skills gained from learning abroad right here on our campus.

The Centre for Student Engagement offers you several opportunities to engage with our local community, while also investing in your personal growth, developing tangible skills, and meeting new people. Get involved with a community organization by joining a Social Innovation Project, and work with a team of students to come up with a solution for a challenge or problem within their organization.

Throughout the Peruvian experience, I learned a lot about community, privilege, and what it means to ‘help.’ I hope I can continue to better myself and become a better friend and ally to the people I meet. Thank you, Peru. I am forever grateful to you.

Past UTM Abroad trips have included Italy, Japan, Peru, Dominican Republic, London, and Paris.

Being a part of an abroad program really enriched my learning at UTM. I think it is a great opportunity to learn more about the world as well as your peers and professors.

Amazing experience! Studying abroad really opens your eyes to how others live. You meet amazing people abroad and gain experience in ways you cannot in the classroom.
