Amity’s University Pathway Program: Your Bridge to a Global Degree

Studying abroad is a dream for many students, but the high cost, cultural adjustments, and long application processes often make it challenging. What if you could start your studies in India, save money and still graduate with a degree from a world-class international university?

That’s exactly what Amity’s University Pathway Program offers. With this program, students begin their degree at Amity in India and later transfer to one of Amity’s top-ranked partner universities in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia or New Zealand. This unique route allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds — affordable education in India and global exposure abroad.

What Is the Amity’s Pathway Program?

The Amity Pathway Program (also known as the International Progression Program) is designed for students who want to earn an international degree but wish to manage their expenses smartly.

Here’s how it works:

• You complete one or two years of your chosen program at Amity University in India.
• You then transfer to a partner university abroad to finish the remaining years of your course.

This pathway is available across multiple fields including Business, Psychology, Engineering, Biosciences, Computer Science and Liberal Arts.
