Exchange students

Each year, we welcome numerous Exchange Students to graduate studies at 不良研究所. As an exchange student, you will be able to share your wealth of knowledge and experience with other top students from Canada and throughout the world. Your peers and our internationally recognized professors will enrich what you learn in the classroom and the laboratory.

How to become an exchange student

If you would like to come to 不良研究所 on exchange, you should first contact the International Studies or Study Abroad Office at your home university. They will be able to answer your questions, and determine your eligibility for exchange to 不良研究所. They will also provide you with pertinent information such as application requirements.

We work with several exchange partner universities throughout Canada and the World. Contact your home university to inquire if there is an exchange partnership with 不良研究所. Please note that we only review exchange applications that are formally submitted by the exchange coordinators of our exchange partner universities.

If your home university does not have an exchange agreement with 不良研究所, you need to apply as a Visiting Student.

Special students

As a Special Student you can take one, or two at most, graduate-level courses per term (6 credits), without the intention of obtaining a graduate degree or diploma. Special Students, like all graduate applicants, must meet the minimum graduate-level entrance requirements. The deadline to apply as a Special Student varies depending on the academic unit (department, school or institute) concerned. Not all units offer Special Student admission. Please refer to program page to determine the Special Student deadline.

Special students:

  • may not continue as Special Students after the completion of a maximum of 12 credits
  • must apply and pay the application fee every academic year (i.e. for the Fall term)
  • may receive academic credit for relevant graduate courses taken as Special Students, if they choose to obtain a graduate degree or diploma
  • who wish to take undergraduate courses only (500 level or lower) must apply as a Special Student in the undergraduate faculty concerned, even if they already hold a degree
