New Delhi: Global exposure broadens students' outlook introducing them to multi-cultural learning environment, OP Jindal Global University said on Monday as it announced that more than 175 of its students will pursue various courses in institutes such as Harvard and Oxford under a study programme.
It will help them imbibe qualifications and expertise relevant in the globalised work environment, JGU said in a statement.
JGU Founding Vice Chancellor C Raj Kumar said the varsity's over 175 students will shortly leave the country to pursue courses in leading institutes across the world, including Harvard, Oxford and Columbia as part of Short-Term Study Abroad Programmes (STSAP). "The remarkable feature of these programmes are that they do not impose any disciplinary limitations for students as far as access is concerned.
" For example, any student from any school in any year of study can pursue almost all of these programmes," he said. The universities that will host JGU students, include Harvard university where 35 students will study human rights and development, University of Oxford which will host 26 students for International Law and Global Governance, and Columbia University Law School where 27 students have enrolled for business and corporate laws, the statement said.
Research Associate at JGU, Nandita Koshal said "International exposure is considered as an essential element of educational experience by students, parents, universities as well as the employers. These residential programmes not only provide students an opportunity to be a part of host university's unique tutorial system but also allows them to have the experience of pursuing an intensive and rigorous programme at some of the world's prestigious universities".
Assistant Professor at Jindal Global Law School, Eesha Mohapatra said that the summer school is designed in a manner that the students get to learn from various professors who teach on different topics helping them to broaden their horizons.
