Business school in global link-up
Nottingham Business School, part of Nottingham Trent University, has signed partnership agreements with three international management schools.
The school signed a student and staff exchange agreement with the Graduate School of Business at Koç University, Istanbul. The deal will provide its first ties to Turkish higher education.
Exchange opportunities with the faculty of business and law at Victoria University, Melbourne, will also be developed after an agreement was signed, said Nottingham Business School. The potential for transnational education projects will also be discussed between the two institutions.
Nottingham Business School's ongoing links in China have also led to a new partnership with the Beijing-based management school of the graduate university of the Chinese Academy of Science. Possible link-ups include professional doctorate programmes and related research collaborations, said the business school.
Head of international affairs at Nottingham Business School, Dr Simon Mercado, said: "These links will not only provide fantastic opportunities for our staff to enrich their academic experience and teaching skills, but will also benefit our students and give many of them the chance to experience business schools in other countries."
