Shoolini University and the University of Salford Create a New Educational Pathway

  • Shoolini University and the University of Salford in the United Kingdom have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to reshape the landscape of international higher education (MOU). This historic collaboration introduces a groundbreaking 2+2-degree program that will provide students with an unparalleled educational journey spanning two continents. Dr. R. P. Dwivedi, Director of International Affairs at Shoolini University, expressed his enthusiasm for this collaboration, stating that it expands students' horizons by providing them with access to a world-class education that provides them with the skills and global exposure required for success in today's interconnected world.

    The innovative 2+2 program, which promises to redefine the higher education experience, is the cornerstone of this MOU. Students in this program embark on a transformative academic journey that allows them to study in two different countries while saving money on tuition and gaining invaluable international perspectives. The structure of the program is elegantly simple yet extremely powerful. Students will spend the first two years of their undergraduate studies at Shoolini University in India, where they will receive a solid foundation in their chosen field of study. Students who successfully complete these first two years and meet the transfer criteria can seamlessly transfer to the University of Salford in the United Kingdom to complete the final two years of their bachelor's degree. This innovative route ensures a smooth transition with no time lost or uncredited coursework. It encourages students to immerse themselves in another culture, interact with professors and students from various backgrounds, and develop a global mindset that will set them apart in today's interconnected world.

    Shoolini University and the University of Salford's collaboration brings together their distinct educational, curricular, and research strengths, enriching the academic experience and preparing students for a bright future. Graduates of this globally-focused program will earn an undergraduate degree from a foreign country, significantly increasing their employability in an increasingly global job market. Furthermore, students at the University of Salford are permitted to work part-time while studying, gaining valuable work experience that can pave the way for a successful career.

    One of the most exciting aspects of this collaboration is the possibility of a minimum two-year work visa for students who graduate from the University of Salford. This opens up a world of exciting career opportunities and opportunities for advancement. Furthermore, the program offers a high chance of obtaining a Permanent Residency (PR) during the work visa phase, paving the way for long-term residency in the United Kingdom.
