IIUI, NU to collaborate in postgraduate education
ISLAMABAD, Oct 11: The International Islamic University (IIU) and
National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences (NU) on Wednesday signed a
memorandum of understanding (MoU) for collaboration in post-graduate education
by pooling faculty, staff and research infrastructure.
The MoU was signed
by President of IIU Dr Anwar Hussain Siddiqui and Rector NU Dr Amir
Muhammad
Under the MoU, both universities would collaborate in the areas
of computer sciences, information technology and engineering.
The initial
objective of the venture is to allow students of the NU to enrol in the courses
being offered at the IIU and vice versa, the memorandum says, adding, the
universities would also share all the relevant graduate courses to be offered in
each semester.
The idea is to provide relevant information at a proper
time to facilitate the students to make better decision. Both universities will
give full credit to courses studied by their graduate students at each other's
campus.
The registration of students in courses will take place at the
parent university of the students who will also pay the tuition fees in their
own university. Both universities will depute a programme coordinator for this
collaboration arrangement, the MoU says. Dawn
