International Development diploma program

I was shocked and overjoyed when I found out I was selected to receive an international research intership in Germany. I know research opportunities – and opportunities like this to travel and learn abroad – are so important for my future, and so I plan to soak up every bit of knowledge I can.”

University Transfer, Science

Studying abroad has certainly broadened my horizons! Being an international student at Ƶ has already contributed to many new experiences, but studying in Austria as a Chinese exchange student from Canada was something completely different. I had the opportunity to meet people from around the world while learning English and most recently, German.

The most exciting part during my exchange semester was traveling around Europe where I was able to explore nine European countries including my original destination, Austria. Every time I traveled to a new country I felt a transformation beginning where I opened up to new possibilities. I felt I had free access to many different countries which allowed me to become a citizen of the world.

Traveling gives you a better understanding of humility in which you think less of yourself and more about your surroundings. I have met some amazing people who have helped me appreciate how incredible the world is. I have realized that the more I see and understand, the more I can contribute to this world. That’s how the study abroad program has broadened my experiences, my outlooks, and my visions.”
