Make the World Your Classroom – Study Abroad

King’s students can study, gain work experience, or promote awareness on issues of social justice while exploring the world around us.

Studying abroad allows you to experience new places and cultures, enhance your education, and bolster your resume all while earning credit that counts towards your degree! King’s has partnered with several organizations to provide our students with outstanding opportunities to study abroad:

• Best Semester Program provides unique semester and summer study abroad programs including film study in Los Angeles, public life at the American Studies Program in Washington, D.C., Journalism at the Washington Journalism Centre, English in Oxford University, China Studies at Xiamen University, and many more.
• Au Sable Institute of Environmental Studies offers field-based courses on different aspects of environmental studies, such as animal ecology, field botany, wildlife ecology, water stewardship, environmental chemistry, tropical agriculture, and many more. Some of Au Sable’s locations include Michigan, Washington, Florida, East Africa, and South India.
• Laurentian Leadership Centre in Ottawa allows Politics-History-Economics students to spend a semester studying leadership, public policy, ethics, and contemporary culture, as well as gain invaluable work experience by interning with a Member of Parliament, government body, business, or NGO.

Many of King’s programs have built-in internships that can be done locally or internationally, whereby students gain practical experience, skills, and knowledge to excel academically and in the workplace. Our students have travelled to countries like Uganda to minister to churches, Bangladesh to promote prenatal health with urban women, and Kenya to teach sustainable farming techniques.

Also King’s students from any program can go on an internship through the Micah Centre, an interdisciplinary initiative that promotes greater understanding and action on issues of global poverty, peacemaking, and social justice. Students have interned locally and abroad with organizations like World Vision, the Canadian International Development Agency, Youth Challenge International, and many more.
