Dalhousie students accepted to the program may be eligible for financial assistance through the Study/Work International Fund administered by the International Centre.  Information about international students at UIBE can be obtained from UIBE’s Exchange Services. The Department of Political Science and the School of Business at Dalhousie also participate in this program.  Interested students from those programs should consult their own department/school for further information.
