MoU signed

The Premier of South Australia Mike Rann and chairman of the university Subhash Sarnikar signed the MoU. Anna Ciccarelli and Andrew Parfitt, Pro Vice-Chancellors of the University of South Australia, were part of the Australian delegation that came to India.
The MoU is a formal invitation extended to ICFAI to set up a campus in Adelaide, capital of South Australia. Initially, the university plans to offer post-graduate management programmes. A unique feature of the agreement is the possibility for the university to tie up with existing State Universities in South Australia to offer “dual” degrees. The student will spend a year at the ICFAI University campus in Adelaide and the second year at an existing university in South Australia. The student gets degrees or diplomas from both institutions.
