Calgary, March 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bow Valley College is announcing an exciting change to its admissions process for many international students and newcomers to Canada. Applicants from almost 50 countries around the world are now exempt from taking an English language proficiency test.
"Bow Valley College prides itself on removing barriers to learning. This landmark change provides students from countries where English is the primary language of education the opportunity to realize their academic dreams with a more seamless entry," says Kara Mott, Dean, Enrolment Management and Registrar, Bow Valley College.
To qualify, applicants must provide transcripts that show completion of required secondary (high school) or post–secondary education. The change applies to virtually all Bow Valley College programs.
"As a former international student, I know firsthand what preparing for an English language proficiency test is like. An exemption for some of our prospective students means one less step, saving them time and money. It will be a game changer," says Trisha Choudhury, Manager, International Student Recruitment, Bow Valley College.
