Every year, several Indian students aspire to go to abroad to pursue higher studies. However, this year, their dreams have been put on hold due to Covid-19. The parents, too, are reluctant to send their wards abroad, in such a scenario.

Amid all this, Lovely Professional University (LPU) has started offering a unique ‘Credit Transfer Programme’, under which any student would be able to make a wide choice of his/her preference for the country, university and the programme. The LPU has begun connecting its students to its partner universities across the globe, including those of the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, France and Switzerland.

Additional Director of LPU’s division of International Affairs Aman Mittal said, “Under this credit transfer opportunity, a student can study any part of the programme at the LPU campus and complete the rest of his/her degree at an LPU’s foreign partner university, be it USA, UK Canada, Australia, New Zealand or any other country opted for. The student will get the final degree from LPU’s partner foreign university. The students can prefer the option of ‘credit transfer’ after two years, when situations becomes normal. This will prove to be economically viable too.”

He further said, “This programme has been widely accepted by students and their parents because it removes the concerns borne out of Covid-19. More students are opting for this credit transfer option, as they can still realise their dream of going abroad and be sure that it will be a reality.”
