Sudbury’s Laurentian University is hosting students from Gujarat Technological University in India as part of an International Global Experience Program between the two educational institutions.
Gujarat specializes in degree and diploma programs in engineering, pharmacy, management and computer applications. Students will spend six weeks studying computer science and biochemistry.
“We are excited about the benefits of this collaboration, both for the students from Gujarat and for Laurentian,” said Dr. Vasu Appanna, dean of the faculty of science and engineering at Laurentian University, in a news release. “The students will earn recognized credits in their programs of study, while getting a Canadian immersion experience. At the same time, Laurentian is building relationships that can open doors for graduate studies and faculty exchanges down the road.”
Students will stay in residence at Laurentian and will participate in tours and activities in Sudbury, Ottawa and Niagara Falls.
