The Shoolini University has teamed up with the prestigious University of
Melbourne to offer international education to Indian students. The admission
process for the dual degree Bachelor of Science Advanced (Honours) program is
already underway and admissions will begin at Shoolini University on April 1.
Shoolini University is recognised as India's No.1 Private University as per
the QS and the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings. Likewise,
the University of Melbourne is ranked No.1 in Australia (QS World University
Rankings). Further, considering that the University of Melbourne has got the
prestigious 14th spot worldwide, this partnership has set new benchmarks for
academic excellence and innovation.
The two universities signed a
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) last year to provide cutting-edge education to
students from India. This young talent pool will be taught and mentored by
top-class faculty for the first two years at Shoolini University and for the
same period at the University of Melbourne.
The dual degree program,
starting with the Bachelor of Science Advanced (Honours), provides students with
a world-class curriculum and opens doors to a truly global education experience.
Indian students will get the unique advantage of pursuing undergraduate science
studies at Shoolini and the University of Melbourne.
The transformative
journey begins with two years at Shoolini University and the remaining two years
at Melbourne. Students can choose from diverse multidisciplinary majors in the
third and fourth years, including Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Cell and
Development Biology, Chemistry, Climate and Weather, Ecosystem Science, Food
Science, Geography, Physics and Plant Science.
Vice Chancellor Prof Atul
Khosla expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, saying, "We are thrilled to
provide our exceptional Indian undergraduate students with enhanced
opportunities to study internationally. This collaboration with the University
of Melbourne highlights the global standing of Shoolini University as a
world-class institution. Furthermore, it opens doors to many more opportunities
for our students."
University of Melbourne Dean of Science Prof Moira
O'Bryan said, "The University is thrilled to provide Shoolini students with an
international education that will prepare them for our globally connected world.
Together, we will provide many high-achieving Indian students with practical
experience at an international university and a world-class education that can
help them achieve their goals. We are truly excited to offer the Bachelor of
Science Advanced (Honours) dual degree, and we can't wait to welcome our Indian
students into the program."
As an added advantage, eligible students may
opt to extend their studies and complete a graduate program at the University of
Melbourne, such as a Master of Science, with credit from their Advanced Honours
program, reducing the study period for the additional qualification by up to a
year. Moreover, students who meet the Australian government criteria can apply
for post-study work rights upon completion of their studies in Australia.
The curriculum of the programme reflects the rigorous standards upheld by
the University of Melbourne. Moreover, Shoolini University faculty members will
visit Melbourne for practical training, fostering a more significant knowledge
exchange between the two institutions.
Together, Shoolini University and
the University of Melbourne are paving the way for Indian students to access
exceptional global education, fostering a new generation of highly skilled
professionals prepared to thrive in today's interconnected world.
Director of Admissions Avnee Khosla said, "Only 30 seats would be available for
dual degree admissions this year. It is a rare and one of the finest
opportunities for a high-quality pathway degree program from India to the
top-ranked University of Melbourne. Students will follow the cutting-edge
University of Melbourne curriculum at the Shoolini campus for two years and
pursue their further studies in Australia."
Associate Prof Rozy Dhanta,
Deputy Director, International Affairs, said, "Collaboration with the University
of Melbourne is not just about building partnerships, but creating bridges of
knowledge exchange that transcend borders, enriching both our institutions and
the global community."
Dean, Research, Prof Saurabh Kulshrestha, who has
studied abroad at premier institutions such as NIH, USA and Max Planck, Germany,
said, "The dual degree program will open vast avenues for students who enrol."
