Lecturers from Cape Breton University at DTU
After enrolling in this 2+2 program, students study for 2 years at DTU and then for two years at Cape Breton University. Applicants must have an IELTS score of 6.5. Each year, CBU grants $1.8 to scholarship programs. Like DTU, they also hold an annual Job Fair to broaden career opportunities for students.
Tran Thi Nga, a third-year DTU student of English for Tourism, said: “I have always wanted to study abroad and attended the introduction of the 2+2 Articulation Program with CBU today. I was very impressed with educational quality and environment there. Also, I have relatives in Canada, so Cape Breton would be very convenient for me. I’m now studying for the IELTS exam to make my dream come true.”
Study-Abroad programs for students in the Central Region also include the 1+1+2 with Lorain County Community College in Ohio, the 2+2 programs with Appalachian State University and Medaille College, the 3+1 program with Coventry University in the UK and the 4+1 On-site Study-abroad with Upper Iowa University.
