“ADHIRAJ BRAR | CLASS OF 2014STUDENT TRANSFERRED TO UFV CANADA AFTER SECOND YEAR

”
The two years I spent at UFV Chandigarh
have been invaluable in fostering my confidence and
independence. The faculty and administration form a
supportive and caring environment that has helped
me to grow, both as a student and as a future business
professional. I was well prepared to transfer to the Canadian
campus in my third year thanks to the quality of teaching
and direction I was given. I can say without
hesitation that I will be a more qualified
individual entering the job market with a
degree from UFV in hand.

Combine theory with real world practical training. There’s a big difference between memorizing textbooks while
cramming for exams, and learning by doing so that you really
understand how to apply your knowledge to real situations.
As a UFV student, you’ll be busy with projects for real companies as
early as the first semester. You’ll learn how to write business plans,
launch products, restructure organizations, and even make all critical
decisions to stimulate the operations of a multi-national corporation
for an entire business cycle. You’ll learn how to conduct and analyze
demographic research, prepare professional presentations, and speak
with confidence in front of large groups.
Your parents will be amazed at how quickly your confidence and
professionalism develops. Your neighbours will be talking when they
see you head off to class in a suit on presentation days. And every day,
you’ll look into the mirror with just a little more pride, knowing that
what you learn today is preparing you for a lifetime of success.

where students are accorded individual attention and
presented with opportunities to engage in international studies
as undergraduates of a Canadian university. I would really

New batch starts every year in July.UFV believes that all students, provided they are willing to work hard,
should have the opportunity to build a successful future. We also
recognize that many students who had average marks in a theory-
based education model during high school actually thrive in UFV’s
interactive learning environment. That’s why our entrance policies are
more flexible.
The program is filled first-come, first-served, provided you have at
least 65% average on your Class 12 marks sheet, plus 65% in English
[or an equivalent, UFV-accepted assessment] and 65% in Math [or
complete MATH 140, UFV’s special mathematics upgrading course]. We
have limited seats and long wait lists; apply as early as possible to avoid
disappointment.
While the program is extremely demanding, students who are
dedicated to their studies according to faculty recommendations
usually do very well.

me completely. Confidence, professionalism, meeting
deadlines, self-belief and determination are a just a few of
the changes I now perceive in myself. The unique angle of
this program lies in its professors, and in the way teachings
are delivered. I joined UFV for its practical approach; it
makes students face real business situations via projects
