Internationalize Your Western Degree

Western makes it easy for you to gain international experience and enrich your degree with global engagement!

Whether you want to study, intern, research, volunteer abroad - or participate in international learning at home - you will benefit from incorporating international learning experiences into your university career. For example, you may:

• Develop intercultural skills;
• Learn a new language;
• Apply your learning in a new setting; and
• Become a global citizen.

And Western is here to support you every step of the way. We offer more than $200,000 in financial support annually through the Global Opportunities Awards, and a new International Learning Award provides support for students going abroad in third year. Additional scholarship programs provide unique experiences in particular countries, regions or institutions.
