Exchange and Study Abroad


Enrich your university experience, experience new cultures and make lifelong friends with a study abroad or exchange program.

Whether you’re an international student interested in coming to America, or an American student contemplating combining study and travel, you’ll be assured of an amazing, life-changing experience.

See the world and visit a dream destination
The world is a big place and lucky for us (and you) we have exchange partners in nearly every corner of it. Take a look at our list of dream destinations.

 

Exchange

When you go on exchange, you 'swap places' with a student at one of our partner universities. This means you pay your usual tuition fees to the RSU.

If you would like to study at university that isn't one of our partners, you may be able to complete a study abroad program. This means that you enrol and pay fees directly to that institution.

Study abroad

We encourages students to explore international opportunities including a semester spent studying abroad at a foreign university, short-term faculty-led service learning programs, and international internships.  International exposure and cross-cultural learning enrich the educational experience through knowledge of another country and culture. By studying abroad, students build confidence and gain a new perspective on the world and their place within it.
