During International Week 2026, Parul University and Humber Polytechnic (Toronto, Canada) signed a 2+2 dual-degree articulation agreement, making Parul the first Indian university to offer such a programme with a Canadian institution.
The signing took place in the presence of the Vice President of Humber College and the Faculty of Commerce. This is not a new relationship. The partnership has been active for 11 years, with numerous student and faculty exchanges already completed.
The programme structure is specific:
- Years 1-2: Complete BBA courses at Parul University, Vadodara
- Years 3-4: Get a transfer to Humber Polytechnic, Toronto, for Bachelor of Commerce (Digital Business Management)
- Results: Receive dual degree – one from Parul + Humber
Why This Matters for Students
Humber Polytechnic is one of Canada’s leading polytechnics, located in Toronto with 86,000+ students and 220+ programmes. It is PGWP-eligible, meaning graduates can apply to stay and work in Canada. Toronto is one of the world’s most multicultural cities and a major business hub.
The 2+2 structure means students pay Indian university fees for the first two years, which significantly reduces the total cost of a Canadian degree. The work term after Year 3 provides Canadian work experience before graduation. Faculties available for exchange include Commerce, BBA, BCA, B.Sc. IT, and B.Tech CS and IT.
Hanadi Alnawab from Humber Polytechnic, who visited Parul University as faculty during International Week, described the experience as the highlight of her days and expressed interest in continued collaboration around digital sustainability and AI in business.
