PHAGWARA: Lovely Professional University (LPU) student Shubham Tondon of B.Tech CSE program has joined one of the top partner universities in Canada, University of Lethbridge (UoL), under articulation program, according to a varsity release.
He has completed the first two years of the computer engineering programme at LPU and will further complete his two years in Canada to get a Canadian degree in B.Sc computer engineering. He has already commenced his encouraging academic journey at UoL under the articulation programme.
Like Shubham, hundreds of other LPU students have either completed or are pursuing their study in programs abroad with partner universities in the US, UK, Canada, Germany, France, Brazil, UAE, Australia, and Russia.
Shubham will now gain expertise in programming, digital systems, database management systems, data structures, and computer architecture to solve global problems.
LPU’s additional director at Division of International Affairs, Aman Mittal said: “LPU has a lot of global opportunities’ programs for the rich advantage of its students. A student under this program experiences international study culture well under the framework of a different educational system abroad. Under this program, the students study a part of the programme at a partner university in a different country and earn ‘academic credits’ of that university.”
Mittal further specified that in this way a student saves almost 50 per cent of the cost of study abroad program, as he or she completes two years in India and has only to pay fees for the next two years to be spent with a partner university.
With over 200 partnerships with top-ranked universities, LPU has strong study abroad programs. Facilitating hundreds of students for learning abroad schemes, even on 100 per cent fee waiver opportunities, it has been setting unbeatable records.
The University of Lethbridge is a comprehensive academic and research institution (CARI) and offers programs in the faculties of arts, science, management, education, health sciences and fine arts. The university is renowned for its emphasis on liberal education, experiential learning, interdisciplinary research, and co-op programs
