This article aims to introduce the university transfer system at the College of New Caledonia.

Did you know there are two ways you can take to enter a Canadian University?

One is the direct way – applying for a Canadian University right after graduating from high school. The other is to start an academic career in a Canadian college and then transfer to a university to obtain a bachelor’s degree, which is an alternative option for students who do not meet the admissions requirements from universities at the beginning.

One advantage of attending a university transfer program is that students will have the chance to explore their academic interests through one- or two-year study in college. What makes it more attractive is the affordable tuition and fees charged by colleges, which usually are significantly cheaper than universities’ tuition and fees.

British Columbia boasts the best and most seamless college-to-university transfer system in Canada. Among many colleges in BC, the College of New Caledonia draws a lot of international students’ attention.
