Giving a brief introduction of the University, Professor Mark Barrow shared that University of Auckland was ranked 1st in New Zealand in the 2024 Times Higher Education World University Rankings. It was also ranked 68th in the 2024 QS World University Rankings, 150th in the world in the 2024 Times Higher Education World University Rankings and 13th in the 2024 Times Higher Education Impact Rankings.
The two Universities discussed the possibilities of dual Ph.D. degree and Postgraduate degrees in specific disciplines and collaboration in relevant areas of research and academic development. Deliberations were also made to work out faculty exchange and student exchange programs between the two universities.
In the meeting, Professor Kewal Krishan highlighted that PU Vice Chancellor Professor Renu Vig, always encourages international collaborations in the field of research and academics. Hence, initially as an initiative the departments of Education and Social Work may collaborate with the Auckland University in terms of online lectures/webinars on the mutually agreed areas and later on some research projects can be submitted for further collaborations.
