Maltese High Commissioner visits BU
Coimbatore: A 15-member team led by High Commissioner of Malta
to India Wilfred Kenely visited Bharathiar University on Saturday.
Coordination
“We are here to explore the scope of possibilities by
which the educational institutions in Malta under the University
of Malta can coordinate with Bharathiar University. We have
identified areas such as management, computer science and biotechnology
to begin with,” Mr. Kenely told The Hindu.
According to Vice-Chancellor G. Thiruvasagam, the University
of Malta (the only university there) had tie-ups with universities
in the U.S.; but, this was the first time they had shown interest
in an Indian university.
“The High Commissioner is more interested in our faculty
visiting the University of Malta on an exchange programme to
teach their students.
“They have heard about our university by word of mouth
and have come to see for themselves in what areas they can use
our expertise,” said Mr. Thiruvasagam.
Once the team went back to Malta, the Vice-Chancellor of the
university would decide on the areas of interest and a team
is expected to come to India in November to enter into a formal
memorandum of understanding.
The Vice-Chancellor said the outcome of the MoU for Bharathiar
University would be explored gradually, after November.
