During the recent visit of ITM University’s Governing Body Members to the University of Chester, UK, the two universities have worked out areas of mutual cooperation relating to student and faculty exchange programmes and research plans.
These exchange programmes aim at improving scientific, technological and academic co-operation through the implementation of various training programmes in field of business studies.
According to Prof Prem Vrat, Vice Chancellor and Professor of Eminence, ITM University, “At ITMU, we have always strived to establish academic cooperation with best international universities and educational institutes. It gives us immense pleasure to announce our latest association with University of Chester, UK.
