APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION
In view of the excellent educational standards at Heritage, there is a sizable international community with a diversity of cultures. Since the establishment of the university, domestic and international students have gotten along well and co-existed as a family. It is not unexpected that foreign students believe Heritage to be the finest university for continuing their study.
Our international students are given the opportunity to occupy leadership roles. These are intelligent, well-spoken youngsters who will return home and play a significant role in the advancement of their nations. We therefore have a great duty to impart to children advanced technological skills and morals. Our classrooms are strict and orderly because we understand that we are developing future leaders here. This campus attracts students from throughout the globe, and the professors and lecturers make great use of this diversity to spark interesting class debates.
Heritage education entails much more than just finishing a major and receiving a degree. It is about living and learning in a local neighbourhood inside the global village, one that is rich in culture and ethnicity. Participating in the Heritage experience, where learning from one another is just as vital as the curriculum, attracts students and professors from all over the world. Depending on the course subject being provided, there may be a 5% foreign student population at the university. Fees apply. An office or department for international students looks after their needs at the university, including housing and showing first-years around the campus.
