BU campus
A rural campus is the best choice for those who enjoy outdoor activities. BU has exactly this type of campus. It is located away from the city, creating conditions for greater student communication and a close-knit community. During the period of study, students can use the university library, where they can do homework and write scientific papers. BU accepts students for international exchange programs. This is a great opportunity to gain experience in intercultural communication for both international and local students.
Canada allows university graduates to stay in the country from 1 to 3 years. To do this, you need to apply for a graduate visa, which allows you to work even without a formal offer from an employer. We talk about other options for immigration in our article.
