International Centre for Applied Sciences (ICAS), Manipal, affiliated to Manipal Academy of Higher Education, is offering a full-time B.Sc. Applied Science (International Transfer Program in Engineering) Degree program with a provision for credit transfer to any of the foreign universities at the end of the second year of studies.

It is a unique program where the students spend the first two years in ICAS, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, and the following two years in a university abroad of their choice (the international engineering degree awarded by the foreign university only).
