The purpose of the courses in the UCP program is to prepare international students for future university and college studies by guiding them to develop the English language skills necessary for their academic success. The different levels of the program simultaneously combine English language study with academic preparation, gradually giving students the educational training, language skills, critical thinking abilities, and time management skills that they need to achieve their goals. When the students graduate from our final UCP level, they will be able to perform successfully at post-secondary institutions in Canada or in other English-speaking countries. Students who graduate from this program also have direct access to numerous degree, diploma, and certificate programs at our many partner universities and colleges in Canada and the United States without having to submit TOEFL and IELTS scores.
