Coimbatore colleges to get Chinese students
Exchange programme: Bharathiyar University Vice-Chancellor
G.Thiruvasagam
with a batch of Chinese students in Coimbatore.
COIMBATORE: Pursuant to the memorandum of agreement signed between
Huaihua University, China, and Bharathiar University, the first
batch of Chinese students started their courses in English at
the latter in January.
It was then decided that a maximum of 100 students would be
expected to arrive after a memorandum of understanding was signed
between the parties during the visit of Vice-Chancellor G. Thiruvasagam’s
visit to China in March.
But, now, after the visit of the Vice-Chancellor and his team,
the strength has risen to 200 and is expected rise even more.
“Since the strength has increased for the international
students programme, the university has decided to distribute
the students to the affiliated colleges. The colleges that will
be able to provide the requisite infrastructure in terms of
air-conditioned classrooms, hostels and catering facilities
were told to respond. Six colleges have been selected to take
in students as part of phase I. This will go up to a maximum
of 15. More colleges will form part of phase II,” the
Vice-Chancellor said.
To begin with, courses in MBA, computer science, English literature,
dance and music would be offered. ,” Mr. Thiruvasagam
