Enthused by signing of MoU with Curtin University of Australia, Acharya Nagarjuna University plans to go for collaborations with more foreign universities in the new academic year, its Vice-Chancellor A. Rajendra Prasad said here on Wednesday.
“Universities, especially from China and Japan, are keen on collaboration with ANU,” Prof. Rajendra Prasad said after inaugurating an NSS unit at the PG centre here. The engineering programme offered by ANU was on a par with the one offered by Curtin University, and hence the latter preferred ANU.
The planned collaboration with Chinese and Japanese universities would enable ANU students to get scholarship for studying in those countries and benefit from the faculty exchange programme. A team from South Korea visited ANU to start a Korean research centre on the campus, he said.
Course in Arabic
ANU would offer UG course in Arabic, the first of its kind in the State, from the new academic year, he said. Enthused by ANU getting NAAC A grade after a gap of 10 years, he said: “We will now go for A+ tag.”
The Vice-Chancellor, who visited the PG centre’s new campus at Pernamitta, said it would be given a facelift with new buildings.
