countries. The University Partnership Centre offers many pathways to obtain
a degree or graduate certificate from renowned universities in a college
setting. Georgian offers three degrees of its own and has partnerships with

English for Academic Purposes
Study and work
For many international students, English is not their first language. In response
to this, Georgian offers an exceptionally high-quality English for Academic
Purposes (EAP) program designed to prepare international students for
success in postsecondary programs. Students who successfully complete the
EAP program (Level 4) with a minimum of 60 per cent meet the language
requirements to apply to Georgian College diploma or degree programs.
International students can study and work at Georgian! Students enrolled in
our degree programs, such as our three Georgian bachelor's programs, and
who meet academic requirements can alternate paid work terms with
semesters of academic study. Our international co-op consultants will support
students in their job search and, with our Career Development Centre, offer a
wide range of resources to help with resumés and interview techniques.
Our International Centre staff will assist you in obtaining a work permit for
your placement. After you receive a degree from Georgian, you may be
eligible to apply for a three-year graduate work permit. This allows you to
gain Canadian work experience in your field of study and also may lead to
Immigration under the Canadian Experience Class.
