Earlier this week, Dr. Samreen Ashraf from the MSI department in the Business School organized an introductory course session for Foundation University- Islamabad (Pakistan), one of our new international partners. This partnership aligns well with our international strategy and was formalized earlier this year, led by Dr. Samreen.
The session provided an overview of our top-up programs available to Foundation University’s students. The following colleagues presented information on their respective programs:
- Dr. Mehwish Mufti – BA (Hons) Business and Management (Top-Up) (Level 6)
- Dr. Duncan Light – BA (Hons) International Hospitality and Tourism Management (Top-Up) (Level 6)
- Dr. Frazer Ball – BA International Finance (Top-Up) (Level 6)
The session was well attended, with nearly 60 participants. We were also pleased to have Associate Professor Milena Bobeva, Head of International Partnerships at the Business School, and Dr. Suranjita Mukherjee, Head of the Accounting, Finance, and Economics Department, join the session to welcome the audience. BU’s Country Manager for Pakistan, Maryam Akhlaq, also shared insights about her role during the session.
We look forward to further discussions with Foundation University- Islamabad (Pakistan), to support their students and strengthen our collaboration in all relevant areas of education, research and professional practice.
