In support of nurturing globally competitive professionals, the University of Baguio has formally established a student services collaboration (SSC) with Camosun College in Victoria, British Columbia in support of the UB School of International Hospitality and Tourism Management (SIHTM) students wishing to pursue post-graduate studies in Canada.
Camosun College oversees more than 1,700 international students each year from over 70 countries around the world alongside their indigenous students from First Nations, Métis, and Inuit groups. They offer more than 160 programs dedicated to training highly skilled graduates who are ready to take on professional employment after graduation.
Post-graduate studies offered by Camosun to SIHTM students include diplomas in Business Administration, Applied Tourism and Hospitality Management, and a Post-degree Diploma in Sport Management. Students looking to pursue any of the aforementioned studies are now able to apply directly through Camosun College.
The collaborative partnership between UB and Camosun is in support of international student success, the provision of exceptional admission and program advising support, and the extension of discounted rates for the first-semester tuition fee.
The SSC signing was held at SMX Convention Center on October 22 and was attended by His Excellency David Hartman, the Ambassador of Canada to the Republic of the Philippines, Mr. Guy Boileau, the Counsellor and Senior Trade Commissioner at the Canadian Embassy to the Philippines, Engr. Javier Herminio Bautista, the President of the University of Baguio, and Mr. Christiaan Bernard, the Executive Director of Camosun International.
The event was organized by Ms. Jennifer Montero, the Regional Director of Camosun College, Ms. Angel Cachuela, the Trade Commissioner Education of the Embassy of Canada in the Philippines, Ms. Melanie Rulla Saro, Director of the University of Baguio Linkages Office, and Ms. Jenelyn Magpatoc, the Dean of the UB SIHTM.
