This summer, York University students have the opportunity to learn about a new culture, develop language skills, and try something entirely new. With summer abroad opportunities in countries around the world, the only thing students need to do is choose the best fit.

York summer abroad courses run from two to six weeks and the York International Mobility Award (YIMA) is available to all students selected to participate in the programs listed below.

  • Want to develop the necessary linguistic skills to effectively communicate in Spanish?
