About

Dalhousie University's University Bridging Programme offers you the opportunity to improve your academic English while earning credits through select undergraduate courses

Visit programme website for more information

Overview

Dalhousie University 's University Bridging Programme is designed for students enrolled in a non-Canadian university who want to attend Dalhousie for a term. 

The programme combines study in the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) programme with regular undergraduate coursework at the university. Students take EAP Level 1 or 2 and one or two undergraduate courses in subjects chosen in consultation with the course’s home faculty and the Dalhousie University Registrar’s Office. After successfully completing their coursework, students can transfer course credits back to their home institutions.

Programme features

  • Dalhousie is Atlantic Canada’s leading research university and part of Canada’s U15 group of top research universities, with a record of innovative teaching and learning in social science, computer science, management, sciences, and health.
  • You'll receive three to six transfer credit hours to transfer to your home university or towards an academic degree.
  • You'll have access to Dalhousie libraries, health clinics, and computer laboratories, as well as academic advising and international student advising.
  • Successful completion of the UBP (EAP Level 2) programme satisfies the language requirements for undergraduate and some graduate programmes at Dalhousie University.
