Dr. Ashwath Narayan CN, Minister of Higher Education and Skills, Government of Karnataka, said, “NEP 2020 has created a conducive environment for internationalisation of education. It has opened the doors for educational institutions around the globe to recognise each other’s domain of expertise and collaborate, thereby creating a lot of opportunities for everyone. UGC has also stepped forward to facilitate this kind of collaboration and partnerships to expand their reach. I must congratulate both ISDC and Liverpool John Moores University for the partnership, which will provide excellent opportunities for students interested in a career in art and design”.
Tom Joseph, Executive Director for Strategy and Development at ISDC said, “ISDC is pleased to expand its operations in India with LJMU for design & arts in the context of ambitious projects like Bangalore Design District and Bangalore Design Festival – we believe that we can supply the best outputs for this. We are a strong advocate of international education and the partnership with LJMU covers many aspects, including LJMU students coming to India and pursuing a part of their courses with our partner universities in India, and we are expanding this to many other disciplines. Like LJMU, many of the ISDC Partner Universities in the UK have expressed their interest in India in the context of new UGC regulations and the Hon’ble Education Minister’s recent visit to the UK. “
“Liverpool John Moores University are delighted and excited to be partnering with the International Skill Development Corporation to offer a range of Undergraduate and Postgraduate programmes, at their campus in Kochi. This partnership provides the opportunity for young people to experience the excellent teaching and learning environment that both ISDC and LJMU have to offer. Under the new National Education Policy (NEP 2020), Indian HEIs will focus on 3Is – interdisciplinary research, industry connect and internationalisation, the three pillars required to elevate Indian institutions to global standards. We are confident that ISDC and LJMU can achieve these 3 objectives through this unique partnership. UK universities have worked together with higher education organisations in India for many years. These collaborations contribute to both the UK and Indian economies and provide wider benefits to students, staff at both institutions”.
