Canadian University Dubai (CUD) has announced a partnership with Ottawa-based Carleton University to develop of a new graduate program in international trade, business and diplomacy.
The agreement was formalized with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between Dr. Karim Chelli, President of CUD, and Dr. Roseann O'Reilly Runte, President and Vice Chancellor of Carleton University.
Under the five-year agreement, the two organizations will be working closely together on the development of a new master program, which is expected to concentrate on some of the key themes brought about by globalization, including international trade, business and diplomacy. The partnership will also explore the creation of a regional institute in this field.
Carleton University is a well-reputed institution in Canada, hosting over 24,000 students. With strengths in a range of professionally-focussed disciplines, it is renowned for its leading programs in international affairs.
This latest agreement adds to CUD's existing portfolio of Canadian collaborations, which include formal partnership agreements with universities in Canada allowing students to transfer or complete a semester of study at one of several Canadian institutions.
Speaking about the agreement, Dr. Chelli said, “In addition to the new graduate program development, this partnership will allow us to explore opportunities for collaborative research projects, personnel and student exchange programs, and the joint development of other academic programs. This is an excellent opportunity for CUD to work in collaboration with one of Canada's leading higher education institutions.”
