American Degree Transfer Program

Overview

The ADTP has been developed specifically to allow students to complete the first part of an American degree at ºìÐÓÊÓÆµ University. The program has been designed in consultation with American universities to ensure that students can transfer seamlessly to America to complete their studies. Patterned after the American undergraduate degree program, ºìÐÓÊÓÆµ University’s ADTP provides students with a mixture of major-specific and general education courses, ensuring that students are well-prepared for the next phase of their studies in the U.S.. Alongside their academic studies, students are encouraged to take part in a range of extracurricular activities, including community service, leadership and sporting opportunities. As students move towards completion of their studies at ºìÐÓÊÓÆµ, we will help them prepare their applications to the universities of their choice. For more information, please see the ADTP Profile and Course Catalog.
