Summary
The partnerships will ensure that students learn the current methodologies and are at the cutting edge of learning
During the meeting, delegates from both India and Ireland proposed different ideas to further strengthen the partnership
Ireland’s minister of state for trade promotion, Robert Troy, recently visited the North Campus of Delhi University to explore cross-border collaborations for making students from both India and Ireland industry ready from a global perspective.
In a meeting, delegates from both the countries proposed different ideas of what could be the constituent parts of potential agreements that will further strengthen the partnership.
“Education is a key sector for both India and Ireland, and institutes on both sides recognise the value and support greater internationalisation of education to ensure the next cohort of students are industry ready. To achieve this, we understand the importance of meaningful partnerships; the collaboration between UCD and Delhi University is very welcome and a positive step forward to create opportunities for students to study and learn abroad whilst deepening the ties between India and Ireland. I’m delighted to know these initiatives are distinguishing India and Ireland as world-class education providers on the global stage,” said Troy.
The collaboration will make world-class education accessible to all in both the countries. Ireland’s higher education institutes offer an extensive range of over 5,000 programmes that result in an internationally recognised degree and quality assured qualifications. Irish Higher education institutions are ranked amongst the best in the world and universities in Ireland rank amongst the top 5% world-wide.
Yogesh Singh, the vice-chancellor of Delhi University, said, “Since India is at an exciting juncture, we are delighted to be a part in developing the skills of the next generation. Ireland is an internationally renowned provider of higher education with up-to-date career opportunities. Furthermore, via our key partnerships with UCD among others, learners can take full advantage of the foreign teaching in a blended learning format yet stay associated with India. This partnership allows Ireland to leverage the world-class facilities, ensuring students learn the most current methodologies and are at the cutting edge of learning.”
Following Brexit, Ireland is the only majority English speaking country in the European Union. With the fastest growing economy in the EU, Ireland is a sound and reliable option for international students seeking to study and make a career abroad.
