O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) on Monday said 175 of its students will be pursuing Short-Term Study Abroad Programmes (STSAP) at educational institutions that include Harvard University, University of Oxford, Columbia University and the University of California, Berkeley.
“These programmes are coordinated by the International Institute for Higher Education Research & Capacity Building [IIHEd], an institute located within JGU, which is dedicated towards research and capacity building in higher education,” the university said.
The students will receive academic credits and a certificate from the host university besides an opportunity to pursue a study abroad programme.
Talking about JGU’s sustained effort to provide students with increased opportunities, the founding V-C of JGU, Professor C. Raj Kumar, said: “JGU is looking to diversify STSAP. The programme does not impose any disciplinary limitations for students as far as access is concerned.”
