A Real Impact on My Professional Path 

Academically, the diversity of courses I took at Bishop’s has been a huge asset. It has allowed me to enrich my initial specialization in political science, something that was particularly esteemed by the Master’s programs I applied to in France.  

For instance, I was particularly interested in a curriculum focused on international business and sustainability, which accepted my application. 

They deeply appreciated  the value of the diversity of my academic background, especially my choice to take courses in Geology and Agriculture during my exchange.

Bishop’s stands out for the importance it places on multidisciplinary and intellectual openness. Students aren’t just given the chance to explore fields outside of their specialization, they are actively encouraged to do so !  For instance, as soon as I arrived at Bishop’s, the international office strongly recommended that I take a course in agriculture—something I had never done in my previous years of university.
