In a major step towards strengthening international academic ties, Shoolini University welcomed a delegation from the Royal Holloway, University of London (RHUL), UK, have signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) for a 1+1 Master’s progression programme in Business Management.
The MoA was signed between Prof Tracy Bhamra, Provost and Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Global) at Royal Holloway, University of London (RHUL), UK, and Chancellor Prof. P.K. Khosla from Shoolini University.
The MoA was presented by Mr. Stephen Thomas, Head of Global Partnerships and Business Development at RHUL, during his campus visit to Shoolini University. The entire visit and agreement signing were coordinated by the Office of International Affairs (OIA) at Shoolini University.
During the one-day visit, Mr. Thomas held detailed discussions with senior university officials and toured key research facilities including the Ecological Park, Vardhman Industry-Academia Lab, Nanotechnology Lab, PURSE Lab, and the IPR Cell. These interactions highlighted Shoolini University’s strong focus on innovation, research, and global academic integration.
The most significant outcome of the visit was the signing of the MoA at the School of Business Management, which will enable Shoolini students to pursue the first year of their Master’s programme in India and the second year at Royal Holloway in the UK. This 1+1 Master’s programme offers students international exposure and a globally recognised degree from one of the UK’s top universities.
Speaking about the collaboration, Dr. Rozy Dhanta, Deputy Director of the Office of International Affairs, we are committed to providing our students with global learning opportunities. This programme will empower our Management students to gain valuable international experience and academic excellence, she said.
The visit also included interactions with the Chancellor and Vice Chancellor, and concluded with a formal vote of thanks, symbolising the start of a new chapter in global academic cooperation.
