The collaboration of associations in the two countries is set to benefit both students and teachers in higher education.


The Association of Indian Universities (AIU) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Universities Scotland to collaborate in the higher education space.

The agreement will facilitate student and faculty exchanges, improve collaboration in research and development and encourage joint degree development. This is the first international MoU for Universities Scotland and the first agreement with the United Kingdom for AIU.

Michael Russell, minister for culture, external affairs and the constitution, Scotland said, “With a world-class educational system, Scotland is actively seeking to support India’s goals of significantly growing its education sector. Today’s agreement reflects that India is our number one country of interest for educational collaboration.” This MoU was facilitated by Scotland’s international development agency Scottish Development International.
