After O/L’s – Access over 200 universities in Australiam, USA Canada and UK
View(s):Prospects Academy in partnership with ACT USA, offers the International Foundation programme, also known as the Global Assessment Certificate (GAC) for the benefit of students who have completed their O/L’s. This internationally recognised and accredited qualification is recognised by over 200 universities in Australia, USA, Canada, and UK and provides students with entry into a bachelor’s degree, in a field of their choice including Business, Computing, Engineering, Science, Education, Psychology, Bio sciences and many other fields.
This provides the student with a distinctive advantage, as their progression on completion of the foundation is not restricted or limited to one country or university, but rather provides them with a variety of options to choose from, in terms of universities and study destinations. In today’s context, especially with the COVID pandemic related scenario, it’s important for students to have several options available, so that they can change their plan A if needed, to a different study destination or university, based on their budget, COVID policy of each university, timeline of opening of borders in each country etc so that students do not have to waste time, limiting their option.
It has been revealed that a high percentage of students, who undertake pathway courses or foundation studies which are based on one university, end up completing their studies at another university or study destination, due to change of plans or various other issues, and some are unable to transfer their credits due to non-acceptance by another university.
Therefore, it’s important to enroll for a foundation programme that is widely accepted and recognised by many universities and multiple countries.
