Study Abroad

The Hanlon Centre assists Edwards students in identifying and participating in international opportunities including study abroad. Take a look at the assistance that the Hanlon Centre provides to support Edwards students in the pursuit of studies abroad.

Why Study Abroad?

Students who study abroad are exposed to new ways of thinking, develop friendships with students from around the world, and truly internationalize their degree program.

A recent study of SMEs across Canada by Leger Marketing found that 82% of employers said employees who have cross-cultural knowledge and an understanding of the global marketplace enhance their company’s competitiveness. A report by the UK Higher Education International Unit found that students who studied abroad as part of their university degrees are both more likely to be employed 6 months after graduation and more likely to be earning more than their fellow classmates who did not pursue opportunities abroad.¹

In short, study abroad will help you to develop as an individual and as a professional!

In 2015-16, all Edwards students who studied abroad received a minimum of $1,000 in support - and more is available for those who demonstrate financial need. Students who study abroad at one of our Featured Study Destinations receive an additional $1,000 in support!

Edwards students can access Go Global funding through the co-curricular funding application process.  Please note that the activity you are attending must be held in a country in which you do not permanently reside/are a citizen of in order to be eligible for this funding opportunity.

If the timing of your proposed activity falls outside of the co-curricular application dates, please contact the Hanlon Centre directly at hanloncentre@edwards.usask.ca.

Global Business Stream

Today is the right time to develop a global mindset and show employers you have the skills to work in international business. Canadian companies are expanding their footprints around the world, growing and leveraging global relationships and using global supply chains to gain advantage. Saskatchewan exports are at over $32 billion annually, making the Edwards School of Business a prime location to study global business and prepare for an exciting career.

There are two global business credentials that B.Comm. students can pursue - the Global Business Stream (GBS) and/or the Advanced Global Business Stream (GBSA). To enroll in either of the streams complete the statment of intent and drop it off at the Hanlon Centre (Edwards 41).
