The Department of French Studies offers two different avenues to meet the requirement to spend two terms in a French-speaking university. Students may either apply for admission to the Université de Nantes (France) program, organized jointly by the University of Waterloo and Trent University, or to the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (province of Québec) program part of the agreement with the UQAC "unité d'enseignement en lettres" and elect to spend two terms at the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (province of Québec) through a Letter of Permission Application. The application deadline is the third week in November for studies beginning the following academic year. See the Department of French Studies for application forms and information. Other exchange opportunities are available through the Arts International Exchange office.
