career counselling Options to study in Singapore after 12th
Studying abroad is not only about expanding your career and personal horizons but also about having an experience of a lifetime. It is one of the best ways students can acquire global skills and open up personal and professional opportunities. Studying abroad is a life-changing experience for many students, opening their eyes to different ways of life and promoting understanding and tolerance. The LPU has tie-ups with over 150 international universities. Some of the popular among them including one in Singapore as well.
The students can go to these universities through an international credit transfer, semester abroad, for summer school, or a degree. LPU has a separate Division of International affairs which facilitates this.
Credit Transfer : International credit transfer programs allow students to move to a foreign partner university after spending generally half of the duration at LPU. In such a case a student gets the final degrees from the foreign partner university. It is extremely cost-effective because you start the degree at LPU and save by paying only two-year fees or one-year fees of the foreign partner university.
Semester Exchange : In the semester exchange , students get an opportunity to study a full semester at our partner universities around the world and finish their degrees at LPU. From living in a foreign country with a different cultural setting to staying with foreigners, a semester abroad is like getting an ‘international education' in 5 months.
Summer/Winter Study Abroad : These programs generally happen in the summer vacations or winter vacations of the academic year. A summer/winter study programs offer courses, both academic and non-academic. Students can have the best of both worlds, international exposure without disturbing their academic schedule. Courses usually last from one to six weeks.
International internships opportunities: Division of International Affairs at the LPU provides opportunities to students to go for Internships in foreign universities and companies. Through this, students can spend the last year of their degree or their last semester at a foreign university or company.
Masters abroad : Many students aspire to do their masters or Ph.D. abroad after graduating from LPU.
