The GLS-UTSC Global Program offers a unique international pathway in Business and Information Technology, wherein students study their first year in India and complete the remaining two years at UTS College in Australia. Since its inception in 2023, the program has established itself as a model of cross-border academic excellence, combining Indian values with global standards.
