Canadian Education Appreciated Globally

Vancouver, BC - September 10, 2009 - For international students, a Canadian education will help them gain a competitive advantage in the job market, both within their home country and abroad. For those looking to reap the benefits that come with a North American degree, University Canada West (University Canada West), the country's first and only independent university, offers a flexible alternative.

"The Canadian education system is recognized worldwide for providing a high quality academic education and credentials accepted by employers and universities around the globe," says University Canada West's President and Vice-Chancellor. "One of the major barriers to international students studying in Canada, however, is limited access to the public institutions. This does not apply to University Canada West."

As the former President of the University of Victoria, University Canada West's president saw the obvious need for new and different approaches to education both in BC and abroad. In his current role, he leads a core team of administrators, many of whom have taught or held executive leadership positions at a number of universities across Canada and share the same vision about education.

University Canada West's vision can be seen in the unique approach of their degree programs. The Bachelor's degrees are designed to be finished in as quickly as two years, while the MBA program offers a number of options ranging from one to two year durations for both business and non-business graduates. The curriculum for each degree is market-driven and developed and taught by well-known academics. Class sizes are small allowing for personalized attention for each student. In addition, students can choose to study on campus in Vancouver  or earn their degree online. International students also have academic and language support mechanisms available to them.

He insists that these approaches will solidify the university's reputation on the international stage.

 

"University Canada West is already on its way to becoming a post-secondary institution of choice for students around the world," he adds. "By committing to offering a high quality education through a wide range of methods that cater to both international and domestic students, we will strengthen the reputation and recognition as the university of choice for students worldwide."
