International student admission to certificate and diploma programs

Spaces are limited in these programs and although International Student Admissions can admit you to TRU, the selection of students to Adventure Studies Department programs is done by Adventure Studies Department faculty. You require separate admission to both TRU and the Department.

You will be required to submit a resume and a trip log.

Follow the General Application Guidelines for more information on about the entry criteria for our programs.
