The Global Engagement Section is dedicated to building strong and lasting partnerships with academic institutions and industries worldwide. These collaborations are realized through avenues such as joint research, student/faculty/staff exchanges, joint degree programs, collaborative teaching programs, COIL Programs, joint curriculum development and industrial consultancy. We encourage partnerships initiated by our faculty based on shared academic and research interests. Strategic partnerships are formalized at the institutional level to ensure alignment with long-term goals.
We are also responsible for designing, negotiating, and formalizing these collaborations through agreements such as Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) or other joint academic programs. These agreements can take various forms, including student exchange programs, faculty exchanges, customized academic programs, and joint degree initiatives.
