Through these collaborations, we aim to create a truly inclusive higher education ecosystem where students from all backgrounds can reach their full potential. We emphasize on the importance of breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for all. By making higher education accessible and inclusive, DSU is empowering students to become global citizens and leaders.
Internationalization of universities in India, year after year, We were struck by the reality that internationalization is largely those with financial means. For those with economic means, the world opens up in ways that others can only imagine, turning distant opportunities into attainable realities.
Thus began our journey to make internationalization truly inclusive. we became convinced that everyone should have the opportunity to benefit from the globalization of education, regardless of their financial circumstances. This motivation led us to explore funded programs and seek government grants to support international projects. We focused on identifying universities and countries where the cost of education was more accessible, ensuring that more students could take advantage of these invaluable opportunities.
We all know that when financial resources are available, a world of international opportunities unfolds—studying abroad through exchange programs, engaging in short-term courses, transferring through articulation agreements, participating in twinning arrangements, or pursuing joint degrees. These programs offer unmatchable life and learning experiences to the students, often helping them to shape their future. We always tell our students who are going abroad, “We are sending you abroad as students and kids but when you come back We will welcome you as young men and women".
Recognizing that access to international education often remains limited to those with greater financial means has motivated us to create more inclusive opportunities for all students. Through COIL initiatives, we bring diverse pedagogical perspectives to students by engaging local faculty in global education efforts. Our commitment to expanding access and fostering inclusive learning environments continues to drive our mission forward.
