In recent years, there has been a dramatic shift in the landscape of foreign education in India. Today’s students are looking beyond traditional study-abroad routes. Instead of moving overseas for the full duration of their undergraduate programs, many are now opting for hybrid models that allow them to begin their studies in India and complete them at a global university. It’s the best of both worlds — offering cost-effectiveness, cultural grounding, and international exposure.
Recognizing this powerful shift, the visionaries at GLS University launched the Global Programs, enabling students to start their academic journey at GLS and finish it abroad — with a seamless transition and full international recognition.
Since their introduction, these programs have gained immense popularity among Indian students, thanks to their smart design, practical benefits, and strong outcomes.
GLS University’s Global Programs are hybrid undergraduate programs in high-demand fields like Computer Science / IT and Business Management. These programs offer a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between secondary education and international university life, preparing students for a successful career in the future.
Students complete the first year of their degree at GLS University in India, and then transfer to one of our prestigious partner universities in the UK, Australia, or Canada to complete the final two years.
The program is structured to ensure academic continuity, cultural familiarity, and step-by-step guidance as students prepare to embark on their international journey.
Students begin their higher education journey in Ahmedabad and, after completing their first year, move abroad to complete their degree. It’s a well-planned, two-phase program that builds confidence and ensures a smoother cultural and academic transition.
You don’t need an IELTS score to join the program. IELTS preparation is built into the curriculum during the first year, so students are fully ready to meet international English language requirements when they apply for their visa in the second year.
By completing the first year in India, students and families can save as much as ₹40 lakhs, depending on the destination country — without compromising on the quality or value of the final degree.
Upon successful transfer, students receive the same degree and post-study work permit (PSW) as any full-time international student. Your employment and immigration opportunities remain equal to those who do all three years abroad.
Families get an additional 10–12 months to plan, gather documentation, and arrange finances for the overseas phase. This eliminates the rush and pressure typically associated with international admissions and visa deadlines.
These programs are also ideal for students who are uncertain about going abroad right away. If a student decides not to transfer after the first year — for financial reasons or any change in plans — they have the option to complete the remaining two years at GLS University itself.
With a track record of 100% visa success, GLS Global Programs ensure students are thoroughly prepared — academically, emotionally, and administratively. We attribute this to careful student selection and individualized counselling throughout the process.
Each Global Program admits only 20 students per batch, per intake, allowing for close mentorship, personalized academic support, and better preparation for international success.
Each program mirrors the academic frameworks of the destination universities, ensuring global academic readiness and smooth credit transfers.
Whether you dream of studying in Australia, Canada or the UK, the GLS Global Programs are your smartest first step. They offer you a world-class degree, global exposure, and significant savings — all without compromising on quality.
“Start Local, Finish Global” — with GLS, you don’t have to choose between India and abroad. You can do both.
Seats are limited and fill quickly. With only 20 seats per batch, per program, early application is key. If you're ready to shape your future with the world as your campus, now is the time to act.
Let GLS University be your launchpad.
