BANGALORE: Webster University, Thailand, on Monday announced a new enrolment programme for Indian students to attend Webster's Cha-Am/Hua Hin Bangkok centre campus in Thailand.

The university now had eight Indian students enrolled and sought to double that number, he said.

Mr. Beaver said to achieve this, he would visit educational institutions, international schools, colleges and universities in Bangalore.

"I will meet students interested in Webster's academic programmes, both undergraduate and graduate, and promote the academic and student environment at Webster and the advantages of attaining a Webster University degree," he said.

As part of this promotion, Mr. Beaver would hold a seminar on September 5 at 4.30 p.m. at Hotel Ballal Residency in the city.
