Ireland: Technological University Of The Shannon Strengthens Ties With Indian Universities To Enhance Student Exchange Programs

Shannon Technological University recently visited New Delhi to strengthen existing educational partnerships while also establishing new ones. In order to promote student exchange and new partnerships with Indian institutions, TUS President Prof. Vincent Cunnane and Vice President of Internationalisation & Alumni, Donnacha McNamara, visited with institutions such as Amity University, Bennett University, Geeta University, Jamia Milia Islamia, and Hindu College.

TUS President Prof Vincent Cunnane said, "TUS is committed to developing global partnerships that improve not only educational experiences but also contribute positively to society. Our engagement with our partners in India reflects our commitment to deliver Indian students a comprehensive, industry-focused education that equips them for tomorrow's world."

Echoing his thoughts, TUS Vice President Donnacha McNamara added “We were delighted to engage with our partners in New Delhi and celebrate shared values of excellence, innovation, and global integration. We are highly focused at converging efforts in supporting the pursuit for quality higher education by Indian students and look forward to further collaborations notably within the areas of dual and blended programs.” 

TUS's tailored programs for Indian students in IT, pharma, data analytics, business analytics, and engineering were also emphasised by the delegation. With specialised small class sizes and applied learning, it blends the best aspects of a research-driven education with pertinent industrial experience. Placement alternatives are provided by programs like Product Design Control and Digital Marketing and Analytics to give students practical industry experience.

More than 350 South Asian students are now enrolled at TUS, and this number is predicted to rise due to public demand for programs that are relevant to the business, a welcoming and secure atmosphere, and high employability for graduates.
