The world of work is changing rapidly. Many of the jobs that will be available when you graduate haven’t been even invented yet. Young people today are likely to go through five to seven major career changes over their lifetime. And this means a narrow, vocationally focused degree will not necessarily set you up best for the future. What you need is an applied curriculum so that you arrive in the real world armed with functional and job-relevant skills.

Employers have made it clear that they are looking for well-rounded graduates – the kind of people who

can keep learning, deal with change and contingency, understand context and communicate effectively. You need to associate your future with a credible international institution of proven academic excellence that can impart recognized credits and is preferably closer to home, at a time when you are changing learning methodology, from theory to applied or practical learning. Other than facilitating your academic transformation, UFV India prepares you to understand and imbibe socio-cultural nuances of a different world, much before you arrive there.

EKJOT SINGH ISSHPUNANIBCIS, Class of 2019

‘Overwhelming’ is one emotion that describes my experience at UFV Chandigarh campus. I wanted to explore Canada for my overseas education until I discovered UFV India campus. It’s one of its kind in India, where I sit among friends while getting oriented to North American education. I am sure that I will be far better prepared, and placed to succeed in Canada or the world, having started at UFV India.

There’s education in a formal setting, and education in an informal setting, and I feel as though I’ve gotten the best of both worlds while studying at UFV Chandigarh. I strongly believe that I can speak on behalf of majority of the students at UFV India when I say it’s become second nature to put heart into everything we do, thanks to the never ending support of the staff and faculty members. UFV India is different from UFV Canada in all of the best ways. I feel as though I’m right at home while studying at UFV Chandigarh. Having all of the luxuries of the modern world, yet having exposure to the more rustic elements of the city and its culture has been so charming.

ANDREA IVANOFBBA, Class of 2017

HIMANI THAPABBA, Class of 2018

I plan to do my Master’s overseas, and a BBA at UFV provides me credits that are recognized and transferable. Applied education and relevant industry interaction are a true hallmark of my education. Being a girl, my parents are far more secure and comfortable while I am happy to be with my family at a time when I have just come out of school.

I came to UFV India on a very skeptical note, thinking to transfer to Canada after my first year, but then decided to stay for another. It is unbelievable how committed our UFV tutors and the entire team is to our success. Be it extra-curricular activities like Toastmasters club, where I have honed my personal speaking skills and shunned my shyness, to etiquette learning classes, we are truly preparing for the world. I honestly suggest to everyone that they explore UFV India once before they take a straight plunge into the unknown.

To bring out the best in youWe understand where you come from and recognize our responsibility to nurture your potential from the very beginning. We do not expect our incoming students to sit in our regular classes without orienting them to North American pedagogy, and ways of learning. Your success is the cornerstone of our existence and our Academic Foundation Program (AFP) is a first step towards that commitment.

Applied Education is a clear departure from rote learning. It would be unfair to demand performance unless you learn how to perform. We fly in our professors from our headquarter campus in British Columbia, Canada to teach you the Academic Foundation Program. AFP is a simulator classroom where you learn applied pedagogy, classroom etiquette, teamwork and so much more. And while colleges and universities charge a fee, we bring it to you at no additional cost, considering it as our responsibility.

Elevating to Practical EducationInspiring a culture of intense learning and ideation is core to our system of teaching. We focus extensively on skill development, real life application, and live projects to prepare you for the challenges of tomorrow.

Cultural IntegrationYour socio-cultural orientation is equally critical to your success, both in your careers as well as in a different social cultural milieu. We are committed to introduce you to all those cultural nuances so as to sensitize and integrate you seamlessly into the global arena.

Enhanced CommunicationWith communication, expression and listening skills so imperative in today’s world, AFP’s holistic approach prepares you to interact in business and social situations with people from around the globe.

Serenity and a city are two diametrically opposite concepts that are united in the ‘City Beautiful.’ Chandigarh is a rare epitome of modernization co-existing with nature’s preservation. It is here that the trees and plants are as much a part of the construction plans as the buildings and the roads. India’s first planned city, is a rich, prosperous, spic and span, green city rightly called “THE CITY BEAUTIFUL.”

When French architect Le Corbusier was commissioned in 1950, he conceived a people-oriented city of sweeping boulevards, lakes and

gardens and grand civic buildings, executed in his favourite material, reinforced concrete. So Chandigarh came into being; turn the clocks forward 60 years and the parks, monuments and civic squares are still here, and well maintained.

In 2006, it was a conscious decision for University of the Fraser valley, in BC, Canada to establish their satellite campus at Chandigarh. Chandigarh is quite similar to beautiful British Columbia. Its planned infrastructure and way of life resonates well with the visiting faculty members who are

willing to teach at Chandigarh.

A Memorandum of Understanding was signed with GGD SD College in Sector 32, a Punjab University affiliated College and a renowned commerce academic institution, and UFV India campus was established.

Currently, UFV India maintains and operates its campus in the boutique city of Chandigarh, and the campus boasts of infrastructure and facilities quite similar to, and expected of a North American institution.

We are pleased to be here in Chandigarh, at SD college, University of the Fraser Valley, which is a decade old partnership to deliver education that will serve the people of Chandigarh and Punjab for the years to come. The students have the opportunity to taste what it is like to live in Canada and secure a Canadian education. Some of these students actually end up staying and working in Canada and go on to work in Canada in many sectors.

The world belongs to aspirants seeking knowledge and information to evolve, and it is this very hunger to know that defines and shapes success.

Qbiz, a business quiz platform, was conceptualized and delivered with the vision to ignite the spirit of competition while enhancing knowledge. With a modest 25 schools representation in 2013, Qbiz grew to 75 schools in 2014 and 100 schools in 2015. The value and the content delivered by Qbiz has been widely acknowledged by the most eminent schools of the region.

The basic vision and premise of Qbiz rests upon the cognizance skill of the student. Qbiz aspires to engage all those students who believe in applied and holistic learning and seeks to identify all those mavericks who consistently learn, innovate and improvise.

In April 2008, former Prime Minister Harper stated “Canada simply cannot afford to miss out on India’s phenomenal economic growth. That’s why our government is putting so much emphasis on improving trade and investment between our two countries.”

Canada and India have longstanding bilateral relations, built upon shared traditions of democracy, pluralism and strong interpersonal connections with an Indian diaspora of more than one million in Canada. From periphery,

this relationship has moved to priority, and the University of the Fraser Valley’s satellite campus in India has emerged an important link in bridging this relationship. Since 2006, UFV Canada’s campus in India has been an important place to visit on Canada’s national and provincial trade missions to India, where dignitaries from the International Trade Minister to Provincial Premiers have been proudly hosted at UFV India campus.

UFV India is a symbol of the best of Canada, at your doorstep.

India is a social, political, cultural and economic force important to Canada’s foundation of diversity.

“We are so connected...our two jurisdictions, British Columbia and Punjab. I very much believe in this educational partnership. It’s one of its kind in British Columbia, and perhaps across Canada.”

An important factor prospective students tend to overlook when reviewing schools is the strength of an alumni network. As former students, alumni offer valuable insights and connections. Your education requires a serious investment, and getting the maximum return on that investment will take more than good grades. Your alumni network can connect you with the people in control of such opportunities. And they will be willing to meet you because you went to the same University or College.

At UFV India, our mission is to establish and sustain a network of individuals dedicated to the applied curriculum of the institution that will preserve history, share talents and expertise, create partnerships and

collaborations and inspire creativity. While our applied curriculum has encouraged our students to explore their passions and interests far and wide, it is through alumni engagement that we bring their experiences and energy back into the campus..

Our approach to alumni engagement is to promote a sense of continuing education by facilitating conversations about the work world, graduate school, and work/life balance. If our alumni can equate post-college success back to the institution, everybody wins.

At UFV India, our alumni hold a very special position. Their stories – their student experiences on our campuses and careers after graduation – motivate us and our our current students. We

have an active UFV Alumni Association in place at our Chandigarh campus that continues to follow and work closely with our alumni, both in India as well as in Canada. We bring alumni together, formally at least once a year, continuously sharing their journey as our own and celebrating milestones with each other. Simple programs like career shadowing opportunities with alumni allow current students and those who graduate out of the program, be it in India or Canada, to follow tried and well-guided career tracks and learn from the experience of the alumni in those positions. UFV India is committed to expand and grow our Alumni Association in order to inculcate a strong level of belongingness at all levels.

Leslie Courchesne, Executive Director, University Relations, University of the Fraser Valley addressing a cohort of UFV alumni on October 8, 2014

With a passion to become a business professional, concentrating on accounting while completing my Bachelor’s at UFV gave me a head start in the CPA (Chartered Professional Accountant) program. After working in retail and almost a year in finance, I am commencing my CPA designation with a public accounting firm as an articling student here in Canada.

If you are a passionate individual who wants a breakthrough in your business career, a university like UFV could be the next pit stop in your journey to make a difference in anything and everything.

F R E Q U E N T L Y A S K E D Q U E S T I O N S

Why study in Canada?

Canada is renowned for its quality education and competitive entry requirements. International students who graduate from Canadian institutions enjoy prosperous careers as their education is recognized worldwide. For the past nine consecutive years, a United Nations survey has found Canada to be the best place in the world to live. The survey conducted every year evaluates quality of life in 174 countries, using over 200 performance indicators.

Canada earns particularly high marks for its access to education, high life expectancy and low crime rates. Over the last three years, Canada’s inflation rate has remained one of the lowest in the industrialized world.

Canada plays host to more than 180,000 international students in any given year. Increasingly, it is becoming the country of choice for students from all parts of the world. Every step is taken to ensure the safety of students on Canada’s campuses.Most universities and colleges have their own campus security 24 hrs a day. Canadian institutions charge lower tuition fees for international students than their counterparts in competing countries while maintaining excellent

educational quality.

Why choose UFV?

University of the Fraser Valley is an accredited public university, based in British Columbia, Canada and is the only Canadian academic institution with a satellite campus at GGD SD College in India. UFV India has been delivering academic programs in India since 2006 and our students, present and past, are the biggest testimonials of our success. A thorough read of this prospectus would give you ample reasons to be a part of UFV India.

Am I better off studying at UFV India campus or directly taking admission in Canada?

A student seeking international education or a career overseas would like to reach foreign shores as soon as possible. Lack of credible institutions and ambiguous entities also compel students to avoid pursuing international education in India. The fact, however, remains that students, especially those who have just come out of high school, should be introduced to a different pedagogy and the socio-cultural nuances of a different world, while they are in their country, and with family. That

was the basic premise for UFV India coming into being. Our students find themselves far better placed to hit the road running while starting their studies at our India campus.

How does UFV Rank ?

relevant.For UBC students, it was 43% relevant.For SFU students, it was 40% relevant.
