Global Connections

We live in an increasingly interdependent and tumultuous world where resilience is as important as efficiency. Globalization of learning, discovery and citizenship is an important part of our mission. We foster national and international research collaborations that advance understanding and generate knowledge to address global challenges and encourage mutual understanding, sustainability and prosperity. Our emphasis is on:

Global literacy - Preparing for a global future

The effectiveness of our graduates depends on their cultural fluency and comprehension of globalization. We achieve this through:

• International recruitment
• Globalization of the curriculum
• Field courses at rural, remote and international destinations
• Study abroad and student exchange programs

Global partnerships – Building mutual institutional capacity

The University of Alberta has 295 active linkages in 51 countries. Our faculty has been particularly active in forming academic linkages with institutions in China, India, Thailand, Japan, Korea, Costa Rica, Mexico, Germany and a number of other countries.
