Other International Students

International students come to Mount Royal University for study in full-time degree, university transfer, diploma and certificate programs. They also come for full-time English language training in the Languages Institute, for music training in the Conservatory and for participation in the customized training packages offered during the regular semesters and the spring/summer period. They also attend Mount Royal as part of government-sponsored mobility exchanges or direct exchanges with partner institutions. International students choose Mount Royal because of the international profile that has been established over the past 20 years, because of the excellence of educational programs, facilities and services, and because of the attractiveness and reputation of Calgary, Alberta and Canada.

International students, in general, are seeking to pursue higher education in Canada in order to improve their employment and career development options. All students wish to expand their personal and educational horizons by living and learning in another language and culture. International students enrich campus life by providing an alternative perspective on educational issues and cultural activities. They serve as ambassadors for Mount Royal and Canada when they return home and build an alumni network that is important for future Mount Royal initiatives and for trade and economic development links for Alberta and Canada.
