Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) has deepened its partnership with OP Jindal Global University (JGU) in India. Since 2014, JGU has been Queen Mary’s first partner institution in India, rapidly rising in prominence since its inception in 2009. JGU boasts the title of the number one Private University in India by QS rankings for three consecutive years and holds the prestigious designation of an Institute of Eminence by the Ministry of Education in India.
On 13 February, a large delegation from Queen Mary, led by President and Principal Professor Colin Bailey, visited JGU to explore new avenues of collaboration. During the visit, academics from four different schools at Queen Mary met with their JGU counterparts to discuss various opportunities for joint initiatives. Highlights of the visit included presentations by two Queen Mary academics to JGU students and the signing of a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in Psychology. This marks the first progression agreement between Queen Mary’s Faculty of Science and Engineering and JGU, and the fifth agreement since the two institutions began their collaboration in 2014.
Professor Colin Bailey expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership: “As our longest-standing partner in India, OP Jindal Global University and Queen Mary share a special bond. JGU is an excellent higher education institution and is at the vanguard of India’s educational development. Both we and JGU are keen to further develop our partnership, as evidenced by the visit today.” He also noted the warm welcome received from Professor Raj Kumar and his team at JGU, highlighting a mutual eagerness to see the collaboration continue to flourish.
This enhanced partnership between Queen Mary and JGU underscores their commitment to advancing educational development and fostering international collaborations, promising a brighter future for students and academics at both institutions.
