INTERNATIONAL VIEWBOOK 2018/19 WWW.STUDYINCANADA.UALBERTA.CA
We believe that education is an adventure. We know that the pathway to achieving excellence goes beyond the classroom—it’s a journey of exploration.
Exploration is about doing research that inspires you, getting real-world job experience, building lifelong friendships in a new city, and trying new things in your day-to-day life.
Exploration is about using your curious mind to discover and understand a subject inside and out. It means asking tough questions and actively seeking the answers, and knowing your area of expertise through and through. Exploration is also about you and your life experience. We want you to explore your skills and talents … and discover new ones that you never knew you had!
