Massey links with Indonesian University

Massey University’s College of Education has signed a memorandum of understanding with Indonesia’s Ahmad Dahlan University (ADU).

The agreement strengthens the links between the universities, which are working towards articulation for ADU undergraduate education students into Massey’s College of Education Bachelor of Education programme.

College Pro Vice-Chancellor Professor James Chapman says forming mutually beneficial relationships with Indonesian universities and ministries is important for the College and the University.

“We will also be working towards a double degree in the Master of Education in the form of the first year at ADU and second year at Massey’s College of Education,” Professor Chapman says.

It also provides opportunities for Massey students to teach English at ADU, and for English lecturers at ADU to study at Massey and experience life in an English-speaking country.

ADU president Dr Kasiyarno, head of international office Mr Dwi Santoso and head of financial department and accounting lecturer Mr Sumaryanto met with College of Education staff and then signed the agreement at the Turitea campus yesterday.
