In harmony with its mission statement, Azad University (IR) in Oxford believes that world class education should be shared and mutually exchanged across the globe. UK higher education is a central hub of global excellence which Azad is proud to be connected with. Azad University believes that its relationship with UK universities represents a core strategy in the establishment of Azad’s Oxford Branch. Through this framework of collaboration, more adequate higher education systems can be calibrated on an equal share for the advancement of all participants in the collaboration including students. Azad University has successfully signed agreements with a number of UK universities. Further negotiation is taking place to identify the specific areas of collaboration at the departmental or school levels. Recently, Azad University has established specific validation arrangements with Kingston University – a leading London university. Accordingly, Azad University will be running a Pre-University Foundation Programme and undergraduate studies (Computer sciences) as well as a range of PhD programmes in various fields of study. The International Foundation Programme would provide a progression route to Engineering and Computing as well as to some courses in Science and Design. On completion, students will get a certificate and have direct progression to a range of undergraduate courses at Kingston University. Also the validation has entitled Azad University to run the first year of the BSc. in Computer Science on their premises. Successful students will then proceed to Kingston University for the following two years of their study. The PhD programme involves a research training set-up that allows students to advance their original ideas into a comprehensive research. The PhD degree is awarded by Kingston University. Similar arrangements are in place in collaboration with other partners such as City University, the University of Exeter, Glasgow University, etc. |
