Agreement with India's top uni initiates exchange and collaboration

Massey University has signed an agreement with the University of Delhi that will provide opportunities for student and staff exchanges and information sharing collaborations.

Vice-Chancellor Steve Maharey signed the memorandum of understanding during a visit last week. Delhi is one of India's oldest, largest and most prestigious universities.

International Office director Arthur Chin, who finalised the details of the agreement with his Delhi counterparts, says Massey already has strong links in India through Anna and Velore Universities in terms of postgraduate research but the agreement with Delhi, which has 500,000 full-time students, takes those to a new level.

"This will allow us to consolidate our profile in India and to build our footprint in that part of the world," Mr Chin says.
