International Partnerships and Academic Visitors



The Faculty of Nursing recognizes that the presence of academic visitors (professors, post-doctoral scholars, graduate and undergraduate students, and/or members of the nursing profession) enrich the academic environment and promote an element of intellectual diversity.

If you are interested in visiting the University of Alberta, Faculty of Nursing, your first step is to review the list of nursing faculty members for their area of expertise. When you locate a faculty member with similar research interests, you are welcome to make contact directly to discuss a possible collaboration opportunity.

Once a partnership is formed, the Global Nursing Office is available to assist in obtaining a letter of invitation for immigration, and with other essentials to welcome you to the Faculty of Nursing.

Please note that fees may be associated with being an academic visitor.
