Undergraduate and graduate students in the Faculty of Agricultural
and Food Sciences, Faculty of Law and the Natural Resources
Institute are invited to submit applications for a student
exchange program for one term of study in Europe during the
2001-2002 school year. The participating European universities
are: Université de Liège (Liège, Belgium),
Université de Montpellier (Montpellier, France), Ecole
Nationale Supérieure Agronomique de Montpellier (Montpellier,
France), Norwegian Agricultural University (Ås Norway),
and Swedish Agricultural University (Uppsala, Sweden). Students
taking a term at any of these universities must meet language
requirements (French for the Université de Liège,
Ecole Nationale Supérieure Agronomique de Montpellier,
and Université de Montpellier; Norwegian and English
for the Norwegian Agricultural University, and English for
the Swedish Agricultural University). (In the case of French
speaking universities, expect to be tested). Students must
take the equivalent of a full course load during the term
(as defined by the university that they are visiting) with
at least one course that would qualify as being related to
sustainable agriculture. The selected students will register
and pay tuition at the University of Manitoba and will receive
$1,000.00 in travel funds and could receive
$500.00 in language training funds (depends on country of
exchange). The University of Manitoba has 8 guaranteed openings
for students available for the academic year 2001-2002. In
addition the University of Manitoba along with the University
of Guelph has first call on any unfilled openings at the University
of
Saskatchewan and the University of British Columbia for the
2001-2002 academic year.
Eligibility and Selection Criteria
This program is for the fourth year of an undergraduate
program, the third year of a law program, or the first two
years of a graduate program in the Faculty of Agricultural
and Food Sciences, Faculty of Law, or Natural Resources Institute.
Students applying should be in good standing with the University.
Selection of students for the program will be based on their
academic record, their language fluency, and how the program
in sustainable agriculture will benefit their program. Flexibility
in choice of University for study abroad and flexibility of
which term the exchange takes place in will also factor in
selection.
