Student exchanges and visiting graduate students add important elements to a graduate education.

Student Exchanges

Student exchanges are managed through a database of universities with whom Queen's has an exchange agreement. These agreements are often the result of a signed Memorandum of Agreement between two institutions and appendices to these agreements include details such as the length of study, fees that must be paid by students and the length of the agreement.

Students who wish to go on exchange should work closely with their supervisor, or graduate coordinator, to find out of the exchange will contribute to them making progress on their academic program.

If you would like to establish an exchange agreement with another university, please bear in mind that the agreement must include the reciprocal exchange of graduate students. Contact your Associate Dean in the School of Graduate Studies for assistance in developing the agreement.
