UPES Global Pathways Programme is a step towards giving exceptional international experience to students. Under the Global Pathways Programme, students have the option to complete a certain portion of the course at UPES, and the balance at our academic partner universities in the UK, Germany and Australia, subject to completing the eligibility criterion of the academic partner universities.
The programmes at UPES are carefully synced with those at academic partner universities, to ensure that aspects of study are not repeated and students gain the advantage on academics. Upon successful completion of course at the Partner University and complying with all academic criteria, the student receives a degree from the international partner university.
The extensive curriculum, experiential learning, and globally-recognized academic practices at UPES facilitate seamless credit transfers to top-ranked international academic partner universities at an affordable cost.
The Department of International Affairs (DIA), UPES, facilitates the credit transfer process. Upon completion of studies at the partner university, the students can apply for a post study work visa, based upon the requirements of the destination country
