Exchange Programs
Exchanges allow McGill students to complete a semester or year of study at a partner university. Students explore, learn, and grow abroad, all while earning credit toward their McGill degree and paying McGill tuition.
Student exchange agreements are bilateral exchange agreements that exist between McGill University and peer institutions which have been reviewed and approved by McGill. The number of exchange spaces available at the host institution are limited, and vary from year to year. McGill students nominated to participate on an exchange term abroad are billed McGill tuition and fees for that term (equivalent to 15 McGill credits). McGill University has agreements with over 150 universities in 39 countries around the world. Exchange programs can be university-wide or faculty-specific. Faculty-specific agreements are only open to students in the specified faculty.
