NCUK Expands in Canada through New Partnerships with Brock University and Toronto Metropolitan University

Posted on : 31 July 2025

NCUK is expanding its presence in Canada with new partnerships at Brock University and Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU). These collaborations open up more pathways for international students to access high-quality higher education in North America.

Through this new partnership, students at University Foundation College in Qatar who successfully complete the NCUK International Foundation Year (IFY) will be eligible to progress to Brock University or Toronto Metropolitan University. This opens up valuable academic and career pathways for those planning to study and build their futures in Canada.

NCUK Expands in Canada

Located in the heart of Canada’s Niagara Peninsula, Brock University stands out as the only Canadian university located within a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve on the Niagara Escarpment, close to the world-famous Niagara Falls. Thanks to this partnership, students completing the NCUK International Foundation Year will be able to progress to a wide range of undergraduate degree programmes at Brock across various disciplines, all supported by a strong focus on experiential learning and research.

Recognised among the top 100 universities globally by QS for Sport Science, Brock is known for excellence in teaching and research, particularly in Sport Management and Kinesiology. NCUK students who progress to Brock will benefit from smaller class sizes and dedicated faculty support, allowing for a more personalised and enriching academic experience.

We are thrilled about our strategic partnership with NCUK, making Brock University one of the first institutions in Canada to collaborate with this renowned pathway provider. NCUK’s reputation for preparing academically driven and globally minded students perfectly aligns with our commitment to delivering exceptional education and fostering a vibrant, diverse community. We cannot wait to welcome these talented students to Brock University.

Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) gives NCUK students the chance to study right in the centre of Canada’s largest and most vibrant city. Toronto is a global hub for business, finance, arts, and culture, and is known for its diversity, welcoming atmosphere, and rich mix of cultural experiences. From world-class restaurants and unique neighbourhoods to landmarks like the CN Tower, Royal Ontario Museum, and the Distillery District, the city offers an exciting backdrop for student life. With an extensive public transport network, students can explore everything Toronto has to offer with ease.

TMU is known for its forward-thinking programmes and commitment to hands-on learning and research. It has built a strong reputation in areas such as Business, Engineering, and the Creative Industries. NCUK students progressing to TMU will join an inclusive and energetic academic community where accessible faculty, small learning environments, and a focus on real-world application support both personal and academic development.

We are thrilled to welcome NCUK as a trusted pathway partner of Toronto Metropolitan University. With its strong reputation as one of the UK’s most established and respected providers of pathway programs, NCUK is an outstanding fit for our university.

Both collaborations enhance NCUK’s presence in Canada while offering students valuable opportunities to study at well-regarded institutions in distinctive settings. The shared commitment of Brock University and TMU to academic quality and student support aligns closely with NCUK’s core values. We look forward to seeing our students succeed within these enriching academic environments.
