Go Abroad
Planning to study abroad?
Studying abroad doesn’t mean pausing your academic progress at TMU; it's a way to enhance your education and take it on a global journey. Many programs allow you to earn transferable credits, ensuring you stay on track to complete your TMU degree on time while immersing yourself in diverse cultures and perspectives.
The benefits of global education are powerful:
- Studying abroad enhances educational outcomes like degree progression and GPA (external link, opens in new window) rather than detracting from them.
- 90% of study abroad alums were accepted into their first or second choice for graduate school. (external link)
- 96% of study abroad alumni reported an increase in self-confidence attributed to their study abroad experience. (external link)
It can be your reality. Are you ready to embark on a life-changing study abroad adventure?
“The most memorable part of my exchange has been seeing how much I’ve grown and how much more confident I’ve become. I’ve met amazing people, explored new places, and pushed myself in ways I never expected. Going on exchange and stepping into a completely new environment pushed me out of my comfort zone and opened the door to so many amazing opportunities.”
- Mishel Anisimob, Copenhagen Business School, 2025
