Now in its fifth year, the TREN Term Abroad Program has become one of Brock University's flagship international initiatives.

For the TREN Term Abroad in Thailand, you will complete a full academic term abroad in one of the most beautiful and interesting countries in the world, studying at Burapha University International College (BUUIC) and living in the bustling seaside community of Bang Saen, Chonburi province,Thailand. During your stay, you will participate in 24 days of field excursions (1 to 5 days in length) which will explore representative provinces and ecoregions from across Thailand. You will study environment and tourism with professors from Burapha and Brock universities in the classroom and in the field, in the company of like-minded Burapha University students. You'll experience Thailand as students and as residents - not just as tourists.

In transit, you will spend four days and three nights in Hong Kong.

It's an intensive international opportunity that takes place during the regular northern hemisphere academic term, so there is no impact on your summer employment. There are no credit transfer issues either (all course credits are recognized by Brock University and other participating institutions). There are also no program completion issues (with proper planning, there's no need for summer courses or make-up courses). And it's very good value for money - you will spend sixteen weeks in Thailand during an ideal season for travel and exploration, with accommodation, air and ground transportation, breakfasts, and Burapha course fees included.
