Exchanges

Discover a global education: develop skills, expand perspective, create connections.

Exchanges are a way to live abroad and immerse yourself in the host culture, while internationalizing your degree and resume. Gain credit towards your SFU degree by studying abroad at one of SFU's 130+ exchange partner institutions, while in most cases paying your regular tuition to SFU you can take courses taught in English at most institutions.
