The university aims to provide the best education in Canada for international students.

Ranked as a top 10 online university in Canada for 2021, University West Canada (UCW) promised to continue delivering the best educational experience for its undergraduate and postgraduate international students despite the limitations posed by the pandemic.

In the recently concluded Study Overseas webinar hosted by MSM Unify, in partnership with Abcodo and UCW, UCW Regional Director Kalyan Mohan and UCW Business Development Executive Pranav Pande discussed the opportunities for international students who consider studying at the university.

The agent-exclusive event highlighted the university’s competitive and flexible learning options, its undergraduate and postgraduate programs in business, commerce, and communications, new personalized micro-courses, UCW’s student-friendly and migration-friendly campus life, and the many scholarship opportunities given for domestic and international learners.

Aware of the changing trends in education, Pande emphasized that UCW has been performing well despite the unprecedented shift to digital learning due to the physical restrictions placed to control the pandemic.

UCW Regional Director Kalyan Mohan said that the online experience of the international students is incomparable to experiencing it firsthand within their primed campuses in Vancouver, one of the most student-friendly cities in the world.

“The international student experience is something that cannot be replicated or substituted,” Mohan said, describing the university’s lively and diverse spirit. Currently, UCW has an estimated 4,000 students coming from 90+ nationalities.

Fast-tracking their education and completing their programs in less than the regular four years is offered for graduate students. They can take advantage of the institution’s offering of four intakes per year in January, April, July, and October.

This scheme affords the students the option to complete their chosen bachelor’s program for only about 2.5 years, using their saved time to either apply for an internship, find employment, or have a break. Not only is it time-saving for students, but it is also cost effective.

“Assuming there is no more travel ban in India, they can travel and go back to in-person classes,” Pande said.

UCW is eyeing to open classes this Fall and expects to welcome domestic and international students once the stringent implementation of pandemic guidelines has been lifted.
