University of Plymouth: India footprint |
A
memorandum of understanding has already been signed between Kaziranga University in Assam and the University
of Plymouth . The agreement will open the doors
for the sharing of learning resources, faculty resources. This will have
long-term implications in terms of placements of Indian students in
international markets and pave the way for
development, research collaborations, and faculty and student exchange
programmes.
A delegation from the institution will hold series
of meetings with officials in India
and work in areas of curriculum development, curriculum implementation and
its assessment.
Kaziranga University coupled with
Plymouth University’s expertise in areas
including robotics, engineering, computing and environmental sciences will converge the three themes shaping
the future of education, namely education and society, education and learning
science, and education and learning tools, to form a new learning framework
through their School of Management Studies and the School of Engineering.
“Together with a research-informed curriculum, we embed
employability skills throughout a student's journey altogether. More such agreements are expected to be signed in the near
future,” said Rammell, adding that his university
was excited to have collaborated with Kaziranga University .
He said Assam
was famous for having the highest population of the one–horned rhino and it would
be a noble effort to save such a rare animal by creating awareness through
global educational ventures.
Vilas
M Salokhe, Vice–Chancellor of Kaziranga
University said the
university would start its academic session with courses in engineering and
management. “The university aspires to become the centre of excellence for
teaching and research by embracing diverse branches of learning such as health
sciences, agriculture, environment, IT and allied subjects. Students will find
ample opportunities to get an exposure to the best institutes and corporate
houses in the country and abroad, “ Salokhe explained.
Rammell
said there was an inherent link between higher education and economic growth
and thus it was vital that universities delivered innovative and
enterprising education to produce graduates who would thrive in the global
market.
