The University & College Pathway (UCP) is for students who plan to attend one of OIH's many university or college partners for undergraduate, some post-graduate, certificate, or diploma programs. The UCP program is intensive and is designed as solid preparation for academic success. Students can start the pathway in Lower Intermediate Level (200), allowing them plenty of time to master the skills they need for academic study. OIH's Advanced (500) is a bridging level and students who successfully complete this level gain direct entry to partner colleges and universities with no IELTS or TOEFL score required. All of our partner institutions provide Conditional Letters of Acceptance to both OIH and to the institution. Check out our website for a full listing of our pathway partners in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, Newfoundland, Ontario, Saskatchewan, and the USA.
