Study abroad without losing a year.
Take part of your science degree overseas through the university's international office. Two ways to go global: spend a semester abroad conducting laboratory research with your credits transferring back, or split your degree across two countries on a 2+2 or 1+1 pathway and graduate with a foreign degree — across 17+ countries.
Earn a foreign degree
Study partly at Parul, partly abroad, and graduate with a degree from the partner university. B.Sc. 2+2 and M.Sc. 1+1 options in Biotechnology, Chemistry, and Applied Sciences with top partner institutions globally.
One semester abroad - credits transfer
