The two years I spent at UFV Chandigarh

have been invaluable in fostering my confidence and independence. The faculty and administration form a supportive and caring environment that has helped me to grow, both as a student and as a future business professional. I was well prepared to transfer to the Canadian campus in my third year thanks to the quality of teaching and direction I was given. I can say without hesitation that I will be a more qualified individual entering the job market with a degree from UFV in hand.

why you’re going to love it here.

Combine theory with real world practical training.

There’s a big difference between memorizing textbooks while cramming for exams, and learning by doing so that you really understand how to apply your knowledge to real situations.

As a UFV student, you’ll be busy with projects for real companies as early as the first semester. You’ll learn how to write business plans, launch products, restructure organizations, and even make all critical decisions to stimulate the operations of a multi-national corporation for an entire business cycle. You’ll learn how to conduct and analyze demographic research, prepare professional presentations, and speak with confidence in front of large groups.

GLOBAL-STANDARD, AIR-CONDITIONED & WI-FI CLASSROOMS

Your parents will be amazed at how quickly your confidence and professionalism develops. Your neighbours will be talking when they see you head off to class in a suit on presentation days. And every day, you’ll look into the mirror with just a little more pride, knowing that
