BRAC University has signed a Memorandum of Collaboration with King's College London. This launches the first collaborative partnership between a university in Bangladesh and King's, one of the leading universities of the UK. King's was founded in London with the support of King George IV in 1829 and has since become a world-renowned institution.
The Memorandum opens the way for a partnership between King's and BRAC University, initially in Pharmacy, including student and staff exchange, online learning and research as well as postgraduate study opportunities. There are opportunities for partnership in other subjects too.
Professor Miraz Rahman, Professor of Medicinal Chemistry, School of Cancer & Pharmaceutical Sciences, has visited BRAC University to mark the start of the partnership and met the BRAC leadership team to discuss strategies to make this partnership successful. Earlier, in June, the Acting Vice-Chancellor and Pro- Vice-Chancellor, Professor Mahfuzul Aziz and the Registrar, Dr Dave Dowland, visited King's to discuss the range of opportunities for collaboration.
