Chandigarh (Punjab) [India], June 11 (ANI/NewsVoir): Indian students' aspiration to study and work in Canada has become more of a possibility closer to their homes as Chitkara University, a leading private University near Chandigarh, has signed an 'Academic Mentorship' agreement with Trent University - Canada's leading Public University near Toronto - in the faculty of Bachelor of Business Administration or BBA.
Under this very unique and first-of-its-kind model, the students will study an applied Canadian curriculum in the first two years at Chitkara University, which will be co-taught by the Trent faculty. Further, the students will have the option to transfer with 100 percent credits of prior learning to Trent in Canada and graduate with the Trent University BBA degree. Not only students, but their parents will save atleast 70 percent expenditure on international tuition fees as Chitkara University will provide similar international curriculum and infrastructure at their campus. The students will mature, both academically and in age, before they choose to transfer to Trent in Canada assuring a better level of overall success. The students will also be prepared for IELTS and other requirements - mandatory for securing a study permit from IRCC, Canada. This is the future of international education that is also mentioned and encouraged in the New Education Policy (NEP) by the Indian government. Transferring students will be eligible to apply for and secure a 3-year Post Study Work Permit in Canada after their successful graduation. The agreement was virtually signed by the President of Trent University Dr. Leo Georke and Chancellor of Chitkara University Dr. Ashok Chitkara on June 10.
