Nowadays, everyone wants to have an international degree, and it’s a golden chance if students who want to experience the international study environment before travelling overseas for further studies. Foreign colleges & Universities are setting their campuses worldwide. The University of Fraser Valley has set up its campus in Chandigarh’s beautiful city, and it is successfully delivering some courses in the business and IT sector. 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 on it for my son. He got enrolled on an undergraduate degree in Computer Sciences. 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 that what are the benefits of studying that pathway program? Being in the business of education consultancy, I normally face queries of students and their parents where they ask why should they study here in India when they are planning to go overseas for higher studies later. Here we can list 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 be beneficial for them to get better work opportunities while further studies in Canada. Another benefit is monetary as well. Students can get one or two years of studies at almost 60% less tuition fee, ultimately cost-cutting in your studies plan.
