International Services

Study abroad opportunities allow you to put your classroom knowledge into practice. Depending on your program, you could be involved with capacity training in health and social services in developing countries or conducting field studies in foreign habitats.

Exchange agreements

As a Lethbridge College student, you can attend a partner institution for one or two semesters over the duration of your program.

Transfer agreements

If you are graduating from Lethbridge College, consider transferring to one of our partner institutions to continue your education. You can receive credit or an advanced standing at institutions across North America and the world.

Collaborative agreements

Collaborative agreements allow Lethbridge College students to pursue specialized training and education. We currently hold an agreement with:

• Kansai Gaidai University

By volunteering abroad, you can have a chance to explore various career opportunities, gain valuable experience and broaden your sense of the world. The gift of your time – whether short term or long – creates a vibrant, connected and healthy community.

Volunteering in cross-cultural capacities can lead to development of cultural competency and increase your knowledge of the world around you. And the impact that you leave provides a positive experience for those encountering Canadian culture for the first time.

We encourage students, staff and faculty to consider gifting their time for a cause or organization they are passionate about.

Buiga Sunrise

Founded by a Lethbridge College alumnus, Buiga Sunrise is a non-profit organization in Uganda. Run entirely by volunteers, this community-led program supports a school, healthcare centre and other community programs and sustainability projects. Volunteers are welcome for any length of time.
