Student Success Stories:
🗣️ Leo (Beijing)
“I am now a third-year student in the Faculty of Management at UBC. I’m incredibly grateful to the DUTP program for helping me adapt to the university pace early on, teaching me how to write English business reports and deliver public speeches. The instructors were very dedicated, offering weekly tutoring sessions to ensure we kept up. My Gaokao score was just above the undergraduate cutoff line, and I never imagined I could so smoothly enter a top-40 QS ranked university.”
🗣️ Anna (Hong Kong)
“I transferred from a Canadian university into the DUTP program, aiming to study Psychology at York University. The small class sizes here mean the teachers know every student and encourage us to ask questions proactively. I have the flexibility to schedule my courses each semester and expect to transfer to York University for my third year in about a year’s time.”
🗣️ Jay (Zhejiang)
“I always dreamed of attending Northeastern University in the US, especially valuing its co-op opportunities, but the high cost of Boston made me hesitant. The DUTP program saved me two years of expenses and one year of time. This is my final semester in the program, and I have already received my offer letter. Thanks to DUTP, I am steps away from my dream in Boston!”
