MZUMBE University has pledged continued cooperation with CMR University of Bangalore, India, in a quest to bring development and promote academic standards for the benefit of both countries.
To achieve this, Mzumbe University Acting Vice Chancellor, Prof Josephat Itika, said that the two institutions will continue working together in developing more new degree programmes as a way of solving prevailing challenges. He said this during the inauguration of the second cohort of Master of Science in Applied REGION113081Economic and Business.
The programme is run at Mzumbe University, Dar es Salaam Campus College in partnership with CMR University, Bangalore. “We will continue working with CMR University in pursuing development for our countries,” he said.
The programme aims at preparing professionals who would work in private companies, industries, and government institutions. The two varsities have agreed to exchange students, lecturers and do research jointly. Indian High Commissioner, Mr Sandeep Arya said cooperating in areas of human resource development was of paramount importance for both countries.
He said through that cooperation, the two countries were learning from each other and share experience on various matters pertaining to development. “This is crucial for both institutions and our countries generally,” the High Commissioner said. He noted that there was still a need for human resource development for countries like Tanzania to achieve fast development.
However, he cautioned on the need to have appropriate approaches and objectives when teaching students to have desirable achievements. The second cohort will have 35 students compared to the earlier one which had 18.
“The programme is gaining popularity,” she said. The CMR University Vice Chancellor, Dr Anand Joshi said it was time to extend the collaboration between the two in the area of Information and Communication Technology, management and research.
