B.Sc. and Diploma Programs Designed to Meet Soaring Global Demand for Professional Caregivers Across Canada, UK, US, and Australia
Jalandhar — In a transformative step for Allied Health Sciences education in India, Lovely Professional University (LPU) has introduced the nation’s first globally aligned B.Sc. and Diploma programs in Child and Elderly Care. These cutting-edge programs are tailored to meet the skyrocketing international demand for skilled caregivers, particularly in Canada, Australia, the UK, and the US.
With admissions now open and seats limited, LPU offers students a rare opportunity to be early entrants in a high-growth, globally respected healthcare profession. This launch further expands LPU’s strong Allied Health portfolio, which already includes programs in Medical Radiology & Imaging Technology, Medical Laboratory Technology, Physiotherapy, and Respiratory Therapy.
The newly launched programs—a 2-year Diploma and a 3-year B.Sc. degree—address critical skill gaps in two of the fastest-growing domains in global healthcare: childcare and elderly care. Aligned with international caregiving standards, these programs combine clinical training, simulation-based learning, psychological preparedness, and interdisciplinary exposure, equipping students with practical competencies in caregiving, wellness management, and psychosocial support.
“Caregiving today is a frontline profession that blends empathy with scientific expertise,” said Dr. Monica Gulati, Registrar of LPU and Senior Dean, Faculty of Applied Medical Sciences. “Our programs are designed to meet global workforce demands and empower students with meaningful, future-proof careers.”
Graduates can pursue roles such as Geriatric Care Assistants, Home Care Coordinators, Palliative Care Professionals, and Elderly Wellness Coaches. They are also well-prepared for entrepreneurial pathways—running day-care centres, senior living homes, or rehabilitation facilities.
Delivered under LPU’s transformative EduRevolution model, students benefit from experiential learning, structured clinical exposure from Day 1, and access to state-of-the-art simulation labs. The curriculum is enhanced through collaborations with top hospitals and diagnostic centres, as well as international exposure through conferences, workshops, and guest sessions with global healthcare experts.
“These programs go beyond academics—they offer a gateway to dignified global careers in caregiving and public health,” added Dr. Gulati. “This is a defining moment for students looking to make a difference.”
With high interest and limited seats, admissions are closing soon. Prospective students are encouraged to apply promptly to secure their place in this pioneering initiative.
