Puneet Singh · Answer

Dear Vaibhavi, Being alumni of LPU, I can answer this question. International Credit Transfer: Student after successful completion of 2 years. At LPU may be given the option to join a partner/ receiving university abroad for the completion of the programme subject to conditions and norms of regulatory bodies. You may go to other countries as well such as UK, Germany, Canada, Australia, Italy, etc. Under international credit transfer. Benefits of International Credit Transfer Programme - Summer/Winter Schools are generally run by expert faculty in their particular field. Hence the applicant would gain academically quite a lot. Make new friends. Summers Schools are attended by students around the world hence meeting new people and making new friends. Connections with the faculty for your higher education. Budget-Friendly. This means the students who are interested in getting InternationalExposure can with fewer budgets apply for these summer /Winter School Programs. Learning the new country culture and sightseeing, as this kind of summer/winter programme includes cultural excursions and visiting places of historical importance. For more information, you can refer to the official Website of LPU. I hope this helps.

Hi Vaibhavi, International credit transfer programs allow students to move to a foreign partner university after spending generally half of the programme duration at LPU. In such a case a student gets the final degree from the foreign partner university. It is extremely cost-effective because you start the degree at LPU and save by paying only two-year fees or one-year fees of the foreign partner university. Semester Exchange programme: In the semester exchange programme, students get an opportunity to study a full semester at our partner universities around the world and finish their degree at LPU. From living in a foreign country with a different cultural setting to staying with foreigners, a semester abroad is like getting an international education in 5 months.

Let me just quote some of the highlights of Credit Transfer option offered by LPU: Credit Transfer option offered by the University (LPU), is an initiative taken by the University to facilitate students who aspire to study abroad. This Option offered by LPU comes under the Under Graduate Programmes, which fall into 2+2 years category (I. e. 2 years in LPU and thereafter moving on for 2 years to partner/ receiving University) or 2+1 year category (I. e. 2 years in LPU and thereafter moving on for 1 year to partner/ receiving University). Second category is of Post Graduate Programmes which falls into 1+1 year category (I. e. 1 year in LPU and thereafter moving on for 1 year to partner/ receiving University). After successfully joining the partner university, applicant is eligible to get the same degree as students joining that partner university right from the first year. This scheme helps in reducing the overall expenditure of getting the same degree from foreign universities and also gives two more years after schooling (10+2) in home environment. Credit transfer as an option is offered to specific programmes of certain batches. Any interested student is required to complete the below mentioned steps to avail this option: 1. Fulfill the eligibility criteria of partner university 2. Opt/apply for credit transfer option before the last date 3. Pay processing and courier charges 4.

Hi. S an internationally connected university, we not only offer semester exchange programs but also a number of planned transfer and articulation pathways for students who wish to complete their studies elsewhere in the world. LPU articulation partners comprise highly ranked and globally well-known universities in countries such as Canada, UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Dubai, France and many other countries in Europe. These programs are specifically very relevant to those who have a foreign degree in mind but often, financial constraints and other concerns of the family to go abroad at such a young age have put the coveted dream on hold. The International transfer is done through very careful mapping of courses so that credits earned at LPU can be transferred to the host University. LPU gets the international transfer to assure that courses completed at LPU will not have to be repeated at the Partnering University accepting the transferred student. In such a case student gets the final degree from the Partner University.
