Saskatchewan Polytechnic welcomes international students with hands-on learning opportunities in its four campuses.
Saskatchewan Polytechnic recently signed a memorandum of understanding with the Central Philippine University to explore international education and collaboration opportunities.
The MOU aims to provide future international education and development partnerships, possible collaboration in applied research, capacity for joint delivery of programs and opportunities for Filipino students and faculty to study and teach abroad.
"We are thrilled to open an office in Central Manila to expand partnerships and enhance engagement with prospective students. We are also happy to celebrate the collaboration between Sask Polytech and Central Philippine University and the ways in which we will work together to achieve student success. This partnership supports our internationalization strategy by creating opportunities for student and faculty mobility, to study abroad, for applied research and joint curriculum development," Dr. Larry Rosia, Saskatchewan Polytechnic president and CEO, said in a statement.
Dr. Teodoro C. Robles, CPU president, meanwhile, welcomes the exciting opportunity that will further the institution's internationalization agenda.
"CPU looks forward to opportunities that will allow our students and faculty to pursue research and to participate in programs especially in areas that the university and Saskatchewan Polytechnic see as integral to achieving sustainability," he said.
