Nowadays, everyone wants to earn an international degree, and it’s a golden opportunity for students who want to experience an international study environment before travelling overseas for further studies. Foreign colleges & Universities are setting their campuses worldwide. The University of Fraser Valley has established its campus in Chandigarh, and it is successfully offering courses in the business and IT sectors. Students can start their studies here in Chandigarh (UFV India) and choose to transfer to CANADA after completing one or two years.
I visited this campus in Chandigarh a few years back. I was so impressed by this concept that I decided to go with it for my son. He got enrolled on an undergraduate degree in Computer Science. He has completed two years in Chandigarh and the other two years in the Canada campus.
Why should you start here in India?
The very first point someone can ask is what the benefits of studying that pathway program are. Being in the business of education consultancy, I often receive queries from students and their parents asking why they should study in India when they plan to go overseas for higher studies later. Here we can list a few benefits of this pathway program.
With this pathway program, you will learn Canadian applied educational expectations and balance new academic demands. Students will be more ready for Canadian educational standards before travelling to Canada. This way, students will get ready for their future studies in Canada. Parents who will spend a huge amount of money on their child’s education evaluate their ward’s progress before actually sending them abroad. If students complete a two-year program here in India, they will get a Canadian diploma before travelling to Canada. That diploma will help them secure better job opportunities while pursuing further studies in Canada. Another benefit is monetary as well. Students can complete one or two years of study at almost 60% lower tuition fees, ultimately reducing the cost of their study plan.
