The State government signed an agreement with the British Council here on Wednesday for two-way student mobility, capacity building, research and transnational education.
Higher Education Minister K. Ponmudy signed the MoU on behalf of the State government. The Council would enable collaborations in new and emerging areas through Going Global Partnerships that the State is already part of.
Under the GGP seven universities from Tamil Nadu are partnering with nine universities in the U.K. Mr. Ponmudy said the United Kingdom is a natural partner in the efforts to internationalise higher education. He urged the U.K. institutions to partner with the State in developing joint and dual degree programmes and collaborative research in mutual areas.
