Punjabi University inks pact with Australian business school

Punjabi University has established an academic partnership by signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Universal Business School, Australia.

The agreement was formally signed by Vice-Chancellor Jagdeep Singh on behalf of Punjabi University and Dr Garry Malhotra, Chancellor of GCA Australia, representing the Universal Business School.

Dr Jagdeep Singh said this collaboration would unlock global opportunities for students. He emphasised that the primary goal was to provide Punjabi University students with international exposure and foster academic exchange between the two institutions.

He asserted that their objective is to offer the students the same facilities and opportunities available to students in developed nations. This MoU will pave the way for internships and placements in Australia as well. The MoU features a comprehensive six-point programme designed to benefit both students and faculty.

Students will have the opportunity to study in Australia and understand the international business environment. Both institutions will collaborate on innovative research projects in the fields of business and management. Teachers will be able to visit partner institutions to learn and share modern teaching methodologies. New degree and diploma programmes will be introduced where students can complete part of their studies in India and the remainder in Australia.

Dr Malhotra lauded the talent of Indian students and described the partnership as a milestone in the field of education.
