If you already have existing undergraduate credits from university study, we can help you apply for direct admission into Year 2 or 3 of a bachelor’s degree in the USA.
When you transfer credits to a US university, you can complete an undergraduate degree in a shorter time, and your degree will be awarded by the US university.
There are many reasons why you might want to complete your bachelor’s degree in the USA:
The American higher education system is considered one of the best in the world, and US degrees are recognized worldwide for their academic excellence and enhanced learning experiences.
US bachelor’s degrees are flexibly designed and offer a huge choice of elective courses so you can customize your degree to your interests and strengths.
By transferring to a university in the USA, you can experience the US education system and American university life first-hand. Understanding another language and culture is a key asset in today’s global economy, and many employers seek to hire people who have strong cross-cultural skills.
You can work on campus as soon as you start your full-time degree studies, and in off-campus internships (through Curricular Practical Training, or CPT) after you have studied your US university degree for one year. International students who graduate with US university degree are eligible for paid work experience in the USA for 12 months, through the Optional Practical Training (OPT) benefit. If you complete a Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) degree, you can extend your time to up to 36 months.
To transfer into a bachelor’s degree in the USA, students typically need to have completed at least 1 year of undergraduate level study from an accredited higher education institution in the USA or another country.
The university will assess your transcript to determine how many credits are transferable. You can receive transfer credit only for courses in which you earned a grade C or better. Not all previous credits may transfer over to your new degree.
