Summer Schools

  • International summer programs offer UVic students the chance to broaden their degree, learn a new language, and experience a different culture.
  • For more information, visit the program websites below and contact the program coordinators at the host institutions.
  • Summer schools are different than the ICS Exchange Program, in that they are shorter in duration, earn transfer credits, and students must pay fees directly to the host university.
  • IMPORTANT NOTE: Not all summer school programs are transferable to UVic. Students must students must obtain a letter of permission before beginning their summer school program. For more information, please contact your UVic academic adviser.
