Mr. Yves Chouinard (L), Executive Director of Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick (CCNB), and Mr. Chris Madden (R), Pro-Vice Chancellor (International) for Griffith University, participated in a special signing ceremony April 28 marking a new credit transfer partnership between the two institutions to benefit students in earning their bachelor's degrees in Australia.

The partnership, initiated by GlobaLinks Learning Abroad (AustraLearn/AsiaLearn/EuroLearn),  will allow CCNB students to earn transfer credit toward their bachelor’s degrees at Griffith University in Australia, with a particular focus in the area of business.

Through the new partnership, CCNB students can earn their bachelor’s degrees in as little as two or three semesters after successfully transferring their diplomas to Griffith University.

CCNB is the first Francophone college partner in Canada for Griffith University, which has a  long and successful relationship with Canadian institutions.

Such degree-conversion programs, depending on degree types and details of individual partnership agreements, provide students a predetermined path that gives them up to two full years of academic credit for their diplomas and the option to earn a bachelor’s or master’s degree by adding an additional year or more at a partner international university.

Such inter-country qualifications are a valuable asset in today’s competitive careers market.

The partnership was solidified on April 28 when Chris Madden, pro-vice chancellor (International) for Griffith University, and Yves Chouinard, executive director, CCNB, signed a memorandum of understanding. In addition, Madden presented Chouinard with a gift of framed aboriginal artwork.
