Global seminars

Students sitting in tall grass for their lecture while looking over the ocean during their Global Seminar experience.

Want to study abroad, but prefer to travel and study with a group? Global Seminars are each unique in terms of location, course content, length, and cost. These programs offer you the chance to take UBC credit courses taught by UBC faculty members in an international location. Imagine the amazing learning opportunities…studying migration in the Azores, or traditional Mayan land rights in Mexico.

Global Seminar Refund Policy

To withdraw your application after you’ve completed the application, you must contact Go Global by email to request a withdrawal.

Once you accept your spot in a program and your deposit has been charged to your SSC account, refunds cannot be issued.

If you withdraw after you accept your spot in the program: you are responsible for the full program fee, regardless of whether the fee has been charged yet on the SSC. In cases where expenses can be recovered from our program partners, we may be able to reduce or refund a portion of the fees but this will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

If you have questions, please connect our advisors at goglobal.okanagan@ubc.ca.
