Uttara University has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Kuwait’s Gulf University for Science and Technology (GUST) to expand student and faculty exchanges, joint research and academic collaboration.

The agreement was signed in Morocco, according to the press release, which described GUST as Kuwait’s first private university.

Under the agreement, the two institutions will share knowledge and experience and provide students and faculty members opportunities to study, teach and conduct research through the partnership.

“We are going to bring new opportunities for our students and faculty to enrich our knowledge resources and support the development of education and the country,” said Prof Dr Eaysmin Ara Lekha, vice-chancellor of Uttara University.

Uttara University said the partnership was part of its efforts to strengthen academic ties with the Gulf region and expand opportunities for its students and faculty.
