Student mobility is an exciting opportunity for young scholars to expand their research and enrich their degree by working with experts abroad. Carleton International invites students at various levels to explore the programs below for both Carleton members and international visitors to conduct short research visits. These are also opportunities for faculty to build international collaborations and relationships through co-supervision of students, both inbound and outbound. Many Carleton faculty and students have participated in these programs over the years, often repeatedly, for a highly rewarding experience with many long-term benefits. Carleton has also hosted numerous visiting student researchers, whose research has been greatly enriched by the expertise of our faculty, research labs, and campus community.
Carleton International coordinates some of the programs listed below, where Sylvie Jasen (International Projects Coordinator) is the contact for applicants. We provide links as a courtesy to other programs and interested students must inform themselves of the program details and application requirements.
