    The University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) is a public university located in the Fraser Valley east of Vancouver (British Columbia), a region known for its ethnic diversity and its stunning nature.
    The University of the Fraser Valley offers a multitude of different study programmes for undergraduate exchange students, especially within departments such as Humanities & Languages, Business Management, Law (Criminal Law), Natural Sciences, Science of Education and Art.
    The university is QS star rated: four stars overall and perfect five stars in teaching. Class sizes are small and family-like, with an average of 25 students. Excursions are also offered for exchange students and a Global Lounge with food and games is available.

    In addition to the exchange students programme, which is free of charge, the University of Münster offers the possibility to participate in a visiting students programme. Students who do not receive one of the limited exchange places thus have the opportunity to study at the UFV with reduced tuition fees due to the existing agreement.
