Faculty of Arts Announces Exchange Programs with Universities of Athens, Bologna, and Malta

Between January 2007 and May 2008, nine students from the Faculty of Arts at UPEI will have the opportunity to study for a semester each at universities in Italy, Greece and Malta. Simultaneously, UPEI will receive a complementary number of students from the Mediterranean universities. Funding for this opportunity has been awarded through the EU/Canada Cooperation Programme in Higher Education and Training. Successful candidates will receive money to cover their transportation and some of their living expenses while overseas. The object of the project is to create a new and innovative joint curriculum between the partner institutions in Canada (UPEI, York University, and Trent) and the Mediterranean region that focuses on the study of nationalism, transnationalism, and migration.

Applications for the Winter 2007 session will be received until 15 May 2006. For further information about the programme and/or application procedures, please contact Professor Lisa Chilton, History Department, UPEI (lchilton@upei.ca).
