The Higher Education market in India has been, over the years, over regulated and under serviced. This has resulted in:
- Annual spending of around USD 13 Billion (Approx. Rs. 60,000 crore) by Indians to study abroad.
- Large segment of the Indians cannot spend so much money to go to foreign country to join a college.
To solve this Globsyn along with its global partner Coventry University, UK is offering:
- A one-year, validation programme similar to Master’s level management programmes in UK, while studying at Globsyn Business School.
- The students will be awarded Coventry’s Master of Business Management (MBM) degree.
- The students will get full Alumni status of Coventry University, UK after successful completion of the programme.
In the last four years Globsyn and Coventry has done student exchange programmes, dual programmes, joint management games, teacher validation etc. During this time Globsyn became an Affiliate Institution of Coventry University and was approved by QAA UK for its academic delivery processes.
On 26th January 2010 the CARP (Coventry Assessment and Review Process) team came down to Globsyn Business School campus for the assessment and validation of Globsyn’s academic system that would be followed in the MBM programme in India. As always Globsyn has once again taken a leadership position and has introduced a global programme in India. MBM has 25 seats each in Kolkata & Ahmedabad campuses. Admissions are open now.
Commenting on the launch, Bikram Dasgupta, Chairman and CEO, Globsyn Group, opined “With the launch of the MBM program we have moved a step closer to fulfilling our mission of providing Indian students with all the benefits of a global education while keeping down the costs. I am extremely proud of my team who have over the past 4 years developed an entire academic delivery rigour system and its ensuing process and methodology frameworks, which is today at par with the best available systems in the world. They have worked tirelessly over months to give shape to the program and pass the extremely intensive validation process with flying colours. I look forward to my team developing more such programs in the future”.
Commenting on the association, Dr. David Pilsbury, Pro-Vice-Chancellor, International Development, Coventry University, UK said “We are delighted to launch this new programme along with Globsyn Business School, which we have partnered for over four years. We have been very impressed with the Academic Delivery System that is being followed by Globsyn, which to my mind is among the best systems that I have seen. While I commend both the teams from Coventry and Globsyn for working hard to make the program see the light of the day so quickly and efficiently, I look forward to both the institutions introducing more such validated programs in the near future.”
