UNIVERSITY
PREPARATION
Your Pathway into a Canadian
University Starts at Home

Online University Preparation

With VGC’s accredited University Pathway program you’ll be able to start your academic career right from the comfort of your home.

VGC International College holds a number of pathway agreements with universities and colleges in North America that allow seamless entry after graduating from your English program without having to write the TOEFL test or IELTS test. Successful completion of VGC’s University Preparation Program prepares you for your academic career at a university in Canada. 

Waiting for your travel restrictions to be lifted? Waiting for your visa to be approved?

Don’t wait any longer! You can start your journey today and can go directly into University in Canada when the time comes. We’ll be right here for guiding you on your path.

This program is delivered in blended format, with live instruction from our Vancouver classrooms. 

Successful completion of VGC’s University Preparation Program prepares you for your academic career at a university in Canada.

This program is delivered in intermediate and advanced levels. In University Preparation Intermediate you will be introduced to academic English and skills while still learning grammar and other general English skills that are needed at this level. In University Preparation Advanced, you will focus less on general English skills and more on English for Academic Purposes (EAP) ensuring you are university ready.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

By the end of your studies in this course you will:

  • have learned how to listen to lectures and take effective notes.
  • have read critically with a healthy level of skepticism.
  • have written effective essays, arguing a case, supported by reading and empirical evidence.
  • have delivered university level oral presentations.
  • have developed exam strategies to better your results.
How does it work?

Step 2: Get in touch with your educational agent or contact us directly to create your study plan and timeline. 

Step 3: Start your VGC Online University Preparation Program
