Pune University sets up its campus in Dubai

Pune University is to be the first state university to set up its campus abroad, and that place being Dubai. With 30 courses being offered in the Dubai campus it is a stupendous effort for a state university.

The campus to be functional from the coming academic year brings hope to many as they would get quality education without having to leave their country. We have had many universities having tie- ups with Indian colleges to give foreign degrees but this effort of setting up a division abroad in itself is unique and commendable.

The faculty is to be local with University faculty being flown in as and when necessary. Such efforts reinforce the effects and spread of globalization. Kudos to Pune University for a great effort.
