International Summer School Program
We believe that an awareness and sensitivity to other cultures is an important part of the growth of an individual. International experience is also a characteristic that many employers look for and which gives an individual that extra career edge.
We encourage students to undertake a term of study abroad, and seek to promote such international exchange terms by offering an international summer school program that allows students to experience what studying abroad will be like.
Look for information meetings throughout the term.

Canada/European Union Cooperation Programme in Higher Education
The Canada/European Union Cooperation Programme in Higher Education has the following features:
- The articulation of credit transfer for courses taken by Canadian students at any of the European partners, and by European students at any of the Canadian partners;
- The preparation of students for a term abroad through a summer school program (including some language preparation);
- The exchange of students for a full term (or more) of study
Canadian consortium partners include York University, Dalhousie University and the University of New Brunswick. The Fachhochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg, the Warsaw University of Technology, and the University of Crete joined as consortium partners in Europe.
The program is funded by the Government of Canada and the European Union.
Personal growth! Get that extra edge!
As an individual you will learn a lot personally from an experience living and working in another culture.
Canada is a highly multi-cultural society and it’s business activities are one of the most internationalized in the world. An experience like this will likely assist your career. And remember that software and computer systems are marketed around the world, so including culturally aware features in software, for example, makes eminent sense.

And remember that software and computer systems are marketed around the world, so including culturally aware features in software, for example, makes eminent sense.
From the point of view of the York University student the key elements include:
• Credit transfer for approved courses taken at any of the European partner institutions.
• Generous financial support for living expenses while abroad, amounting to about C$4500.
• Assistance with travel arrangements.
• Assistance with settling into the host country (e.g. finding accommodation)
• Credit transfer for approved courses taken at any of the European partner institutions.
• Generous financial support for living expenses while abroad, amounting to about C$4500.
• Assistance with travel arrangements.
• Assistance with settling into the host country (e.g. finding accommodation)
Don’t be!
Naturally you should be interested in learning the language of the country you visit and we’ll help organise some language training. But you’ll find that our partners make special efforts to accommodate English in academic matters.
Perhaps unfortunately for native English speakers – who all too easily miss out on enriching their lives through learning a second language – it is a fact of life that English is the universal language of science (and quite a lot else!). We expect you’ll find that some local language facility plus English will serve you well enough.

In 2004 faculty members from this Department (Prof. Jarek Gryz, Prof. George Tourlakis, and Prof. Peter Cribb) and from the Fachhochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg (Prof. R. Herpers), initiated an application to the Canada/EU program.
After that, Dalhousie University and the University of New Brunswick joined as Canadian consortium partners and the Fachhochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg, the Warsaw University of Technology, and the University of Crete joined as consortium partners in Europe.
In late 2004 the Government of Canada and the European Union approved funding for the project, for a period of three years. The project has been renewed in 2008 and we have sustained funding for student visits to our European partner universities until 2011. The program has been renewed again.
