Summer and other short-term exchange programs

Ontario Tech University has many opportunities for students who are interested in gaining an international learning experience. 

Depending on the short-term exchange program and type of partnership with Ontario Tech, some exchanges are not-for-credit and you must apply to the host institution directly. If an exchange program is for-credit, students must follow all steps listed on the Outbound Exchange page.

Regardless of the exchange program, all students going on international mobility programs—exchange, summer program, internship, research, conference, etc.—are required to complete the pre-departure form and attend a pre-departure session before they leave. Visit our Pre-Departure Sessions page to fill out the form and register for a session.

Below is a list of short-term academic exchange opportunities available to students. Please feel free to visit our Partners across the world to view other potential options. For more information about exchange programs, contact internationalexchange@ontariotechu.ca.
