About Fraser International College
Fraser International College -FIC is a pathway college located on Simon Fraser University's Burnaby Mountain campus, established in 2006 through a partnership with Navitas, a global education provider, to prepare international students for direct progression into second-year studies at SFU.
FIC's University Transfer Program (UTP) combines university-level coursework, small class sizes, and additional academic support, giving students full access to SFU's libraries, computer labs, gym, and other campus facilities from day one. As a pathway college, FIC does not hold a separate world ranking of its own — students who complete the program transfer into a full degree at SFU, which holds a QS World University Ranking of #312 (2027). SFU serves more than 37,000 students across its Burnaby, Surrey, and Vancouver campuses, and is the only Canadian member of the NCAA, the world's largest college sports association.
Why Choose Fraser International College?
FIC's biggest advantage is a genuinely close-knit, supported transition into Canadian university life — smaller classes, additional instruction hours, and a curriculum co-designed with SFU, all delivered on SFU's actual Burnaby campus rather than a separate satellite location.
Other reasons Bangladeshi students choose FIC:
- A combined offer letter from FIC and SFU, with a guaranteed GPA threshold for progression
- Direct pathway into second-year studies at SFU across ten different faculty streams
- Full access to SFU's libraries, computer labs, swimming pool, gym, and health clinic from day one
- On-campus accommodation options, including single rooms or homestay with a Canadian family
- SFU's location just a 25-minute drive from downtown Vancouver, combining campus community with city access
- A genuinely multicultural student body drawn from dozens of countries
Popular Programs
FIC's University Transfer Program prepares students for entry into ten faculty streams at SFU. Only pathways FIC actually offers are listed below.
Admission Requirements for Bangladeshi Students
Entry into UTP Stage I (Foundation) generally requires strong secondary school academic standing, while UTP Stage II (International Year One) generally requires completion of Year 12/HSC with program-specific subject requirements, along with proof of English proficiency for both levels.
Applicants who don't yet meet the English requirement for UTP Stage II may be considered for FIC's ELC-FIC Pathway Program, a 16-week English preparation stream, provided they meet a minimum IELTS score. Since exact GPA thresholds, subject prerequisites, and document requirements vary by faculty pathway and intake, it's best to confirm current criteria directly with FIC or through CSB Study Abroad's admission requirements guide before applying.
Scholarships at Fraser International College
FIC offers eligible students several Navitas-network scholarships and bursaries, including a merit-based academic award each semester and a sustainability-focused scholarship, awarded automatically based on academic performance without a separate application.
Real scholarship options available at FIC include:
- Navitas Academic Merit Scholarship — awarded each semester to the student with the most outstanding academic results in their first term at FIC, no application required
- FIC Sustainability Scholarship — worth CAD $2,500, recognizing students engaged in sustainability-related study or community involvement
- Navitas Family Bursary — equivalent to 10% of tuition for a second family member studying at FIC or another Navitas institution, when two or more students from the same family enrol
- FIC New Student Scholarship — a limited number of scholarships awarded to new applicants each intake
Eligibility, exact amounts, and deadlines vary by intake, so it's important to confirm current details directly with FIC before applying.
