About the Program

FASStrack Asia offers courses from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences that focus on Asia, some of which feature a field trip to the country of study. Students can take up to 2 courses, including one that offers an extended overseas field trip. Other courses may also offer local day trips in Singapore or to nearby overseas locations over the weekend in order to facilitate experiential learning outside the classroom.

Final program details will be published by the partner institution that manages this program and are generally updated on their program webpage. However, you must apply through Go Global to be considered for this program and ensure you follow the appropriate transfer credit process.

How to apply to a Go Global Summer Program

Apply online by the Go Global deadline listed above. Please submit only one application for the summer program of your choice (you can include a second choice as a backup on the same application if needed by selecting the "Add Item" button). If you plan to do multiple experiences (e.g. more than one summer program; a term exchange and a summer program, etc.), please submit a separate application for each experience. Our team will review your application and if successful, will nominate you to apply to the partner institution.
Pay the Go Global Fee when prompted after the application deadline.
If successfully nominated by Go Global, you will receive instructions on how to apply to the partner university. This application typically includes the supporting documents listed below:
1. Recommendation letter from a UBC professor in a field similar to the summer opportunity
2. UBC Transcript (Go Global will provide you with a copy of your UBC transcript)
