The university’s global pathway, international collaborations and semester exchange programs are designed to unlock potential and prepare students to become global citizens. UPES has partnered with the University of California (UC) Berkeley to expand students’ prospects of international exposure and study-abroad programs. This academic collaboration will enable UPES students to study for a semester/year at UC Berkeley. The Global Pathway Program is a step towards giving exceptional international experience to students. Under this program, students complete half of their course at UPES, and the other half at partner universities.
UPES Global Pathway Program is a step towards giving exceptional international experience to students. Under the Global Pathway Program, students have the option to complete a certain portion of the course at UPES, and the balance at our academic partner universities in the UK, Germany, Australia, Canada and the US, subject to completing the eligibility criterion of the academic partner universities.
The programs at UPES are carefully synced with those at academic partner universities, to ensure that aspects of study are not repeated and students gain an advantage in academics. Upon successful completion of the course at the Partner University and complying with all academic criteria, the student receives a degree from the international partner university.
The extensive curriculum, experiential learning, and globally-recognised academic practices at UPES facilitate seamless credit transfers to top-ranked international academic partner universities at an affordable cost.
The Department of International Affairs (DIA), UPES, facilitates the credit transfer process. Upon completion of studies at the partner university, the students can apply for a post-study work visa, based on the requirements of the destination country.
Semester Abroad Program at UPES is an opportunity for students to study for a defined period at an international university. These programs are designed to provide students with a chance to experience a new academic environment, culture, and educational system while continuing to make progress toward their degree. They provide an invaluable opportunity for students to broaden their horizons, gain unique experiences, and enhance their personal and professional growth.



Co-teaching enables students to learn from distinguished faculty hailing from different parts of the world. Diversity in education has a direct impact on the students, benefitting them academically and socially. UPES offers an education that is both global and inclusive so students can become better prepared for the complex and pluralistic society.
Interaction with faculty from different cultural backgrounds leads to enhanced awareness of the world, improved communication, critical thinking, and thought-processing skills. Students become more empathetic and innovative in their approach to building solutions.
