Getting a Global Education

International study programs with residencies abroad are focused on providing students with the intercultural skills and knowledge in demand in the global workplace.

Programs that offer residencies where you can study abroad are:

• The MA in Intercultural and International Communication program's second residency requires the student to spend three weeks at an international location.
• The MBA program offers students an optional residency in Grenoble, France to focus on international business practices. 
• The King Prajadhipok Institute, Royal Roads University, and a consortium of Thai universities have joined together to offer a Thai specialization in MA in Conflict Analysis and Management. The classes are made up of both Thai and Canadian students with a first residency in Thailand and the second in Canada.  This specialization is offered contingent on enrolment.

Admission to programs is based on criteria that ensure the highest standards of academic quality and student achievement. International or cross-cultural experience is an asset to entrance. More about admissions requirements.
