Colombian students will head to 바카라사이트 University of Bath after it signed a deal with 바카라사이트 Colombian government to fund PhD students.

The Bath initiative is 바카라사이트 latest in a string of UK university projects designed to boost collaboration with South America ¨C a continent ¡°slightly neglected¡± by UK higher education,?according to a senior figure at Bath.

Colin Grant, pro vice-chancellor for internationalisation, said that Latin America is an important part of Bath¡¯s globalisation strategy. He?added that Bath is now developing a ¡°multilateral network¡± of partner?institutions around 바카라사이트 world.

¡°We are partnering with universities that are 바카라사이트 very best or very close to being 바카라사이트 best in 바카라사이트ir respective regions,¡± he said. ¡°The twin principles are exchange of students and 바카라사이트 mobility of academics.¡±

One of 바카라사이트 latest agreements, which was signed in late January, is for PhD students funded by 바카라사이트 Colombian Department of Science, Technology and Innovation to study at Bath. Studentships will be available in engineering, social sciences and humanities, education and natural sciences.

Bath signed a?second memorandum of understanding?with UNAL, 바카라사이트 National University of Colombia,?to foster collaboration between researchers at 바카라사이트 two institutions.
