Students enrolled in the Faculty of Arts and Science may opt to include a study-abroad experience within their undergraduate education. The university offers a number of diverse study-abroad options from which students may choose. Students are strongly advised to become familiar with the range of options open to them, so that they are able to determine which options best meet their needs. The International Programs Office, in conjunction with the Queen's University International Centre (QUIC), runs a series of information sessions in the Fall, designed to outline study abroad options and to provide additional information on specific programs.

 

International Letter of Permission and Transfer of Credits

Arts and Science students who wish to earn credit towards their degree program at Queen's by participating in a study-abroad experience administered by another educational institution must apply for an International Letter of Permission through the International Programs Office for the specific courses to be taken. Applications for an International Letter of Permission for international study can be obtained from the International Programs Office or from the IPO website.

 

The International Letter of Permission serves as a guarantee that courses taken abroad will be accepted for credit towards a Queen's degree, and must therefore be obtained prior to making any commitments to a university abroad. Students should note that course credit will be transferred to Queen's, but not the grade achieved. There is an application fee for an International Letter of Permission. (See chapter on Fees for Application for a Letter of Permission charge.)

 

An International Letter of Permission is not required for Queen's students wishing to study at the International Study Centre (ISC) at Herstmonceux Castle. Grades achieved in courses taken at the ISC appear on the Queen's transcript.

 

International Studies Certificate

For students wishing to enhance their degree program with a formalized component in International Studies, the Faculty of Arts and Science offers a Senate-approved Certificate in International Studies. Consult the International Studies chapter for details.
