UTM Abroad

Please Note:  As of May 12, 2021, due to the ongoing pandemic conditions around the world, the University of Toronto has made the difficult decision to extend the suspension of University activity to international locations by students from September 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021. We are opening applications for winter experiences as they occurs after the current suspension of University activity to international locations. However, the university will continue to review the situation regularly over this period and our ability to run this experience will be tied to pandemic circumstances, public health guidelines, global travel restrictions, and Global Affairs Canada travel advisories change. 

The University reserves the right to cancel the international experience in alignment with travel restrictions and health and safety guidelines at any point. Please review the Terms of Participation and Refund & Cancellation Policies before submitting your application. 

We’ll continue to update this page with the most current information we have. You can find the most up-to-date information here. If you have questions, please email utmabroad@utoronto.ca. 

At UTM Abroad we believe that international experiences can change your life. So, we created two streams of short-term international experiences that will build your global awareness, connect you to a network of like-minded peers and give you a space to develop personally, professionally & academically. And, they fit within your regular UTM semester. Both our Academic and Co-Curricular Experiences offer in-person and virtual options to explore the world in a variety of ways. 

UTM Abroad Academic Experiences

For in-person opportunities, you will travel to a location pertinent to your studies and deepen your learning through first-hand experience. For virtual opportunities, you will be connected with partners worldwide for engaging discussions and activities to connect your learning to lived experiences. Before, during, and after the international experience, UTM faculty will connect the course content back to the global experience.

UTM Abroad Co-Curricular Experiences

Learn about a topic of interest in a unique location, participate in unparalleled community engagement initiatives that will expand your global mindset and develop an understanding of community development and social change. In-person opportunities allow you to travel to the international community, and virtual opportunities allow you to connect with the international community online.
