With a vision to provide Indian students with Ivy League quality education, Ashoka University on Wednesday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the University of Michigan, US.

The pact entails sharing of innovative teaching methods and course design, opportunities for faculty development and exchange, mutual visits of fellows and research scholars and student exchange programmes.

The MoU was signed by Mary Sue Coleman, President, University of Michigan, and Pramath Raj Sinha, Founder and Trustee of Ashoka University.

Mary Sue Coleman said in a statement, “We see India as a land of opportunity where a young population is eagerly seeking to stamp its presence on the world map.”

Sinha said: “With an objective to learn from the best, we have partnered with University of Michigan to emulate its academic pedigree and explore opportunities for learning, research and training for students and faculty.”
