UPES also believes that students’ exposure to the global center stage is the key to brighter prospects which will transform them into employable and agile professionals. We are confident that this collaboration with GUS will go a long way in opening a myriad of learning and teaching avenues for our students and faculty members who are actively seeking global diversity.”
Commenting on the collaboration, Aaron Etingen, Chief Executive Officer of Global University Systems said,“GUS collaborates with internationally-minded, innovative and forward-thinking educational institutes and we are elated about this alliance with UPES. There are synergies between both the institutions and we look forward to working with UPES in creating opportunities and developing platforms for enhanced learning and teaching experiences that are truly global in nature.”
To embark on this academic collaboration with GUS, UPES hosted Professor Andrea Nollent, Vice-Chancellor of The University of Law (ULaw) at its School of Law who deliberated with UPES officials and faculty members on various collaboration opportunities.
