A Bachelor’s degree in England for graduates of Collège Boréal’s Fitness and Health Promotion program
Collège Boréal and Hartpury University in England (United Kingdom) presented Monday, October 28, 2019, an articulation agreement that allows graduates of Boréal’s Fitness and Health Promotion program to move directly to the third year of a bachelor’s program at Hartpury University.
The agreement allows students to choose between several specializations offered on campus at Hartbury University: Physical Education, Exercise Sciences, Nutrition, Sports Therapy, Coaching Science, Sports Business Management and Sports Coaching; or a general curriculum made up of individual courses in any of these areas. After one year of studies, the graduates receive a B. Sc. Honours degree in Sports Performance, which could allow them to access various postsecondary programs in Canada, such as a bachelor’s degree in education.
The agreement between Hartpury University and Collège Boréal is part of a strategy aimed at increasing articulation opportunities between college and university programs. Many universities in Ontario and Canada now recognize college level learning and offer pathways to a bachelor’s degree for Collège Boréal students. However, this is Collège Boréal’s first international articulation agreement.
The agreement will come into effect at the start of the 2020 academic year for students who obtain their diploma at the end of the 2019-2020 academic year.
