Solan: Taking a significant step towards expanding global education opportunities, Shoolini University has partnered with University of Melbourne to offer a 2+2 Dual Degree Programme. The collaboration is the first of its kind initiative globally, which allows students to earn a University of Melbourne BSc Advanced (Hons) degree through an innovative study model.
The programme follows a 2+2 year structure, where students spend their first two years at Shoolini University, where they focus on a broad general science curriculum. The final two years are completed at University of Melbourne, where students undertake in-depth study in specialised areas of science. This model not only provides rigorous academic training but also valuable international exposure and networking opportunities. The first batch of students has begun their studies.
A delegation from the University of Melbourne, led by Deputy Vice Chancellor Professor Michael Wesley and Dean of Science Professor Moira O’Brien, visited Shoolini University to interact with students and explore future opportunities for academic collaboration. As part of the visit, the delegation inaugurated the Shoolini Melbourne Teaching and Learning Hub as well as the Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Future Centre Building, which aim to foster innovation and research partnerships.
Discussions between the two universities focused on expanding research collaboration in key areas such as chemistry, biology and AI. The visit underlines the deepening ties between the institutions, which share a vision of creating transformative educational experiences.
Addressing the students, Professor O’Brien expressed his excitement about the program and praised Shoolini University Vice Chancellor Professor Atul Khosla for his leadership in establishing this international partnership. He said, “This dual degree program is a reflection of our shared mission to advance education and research and I look forward to welcoming the students to Melbourne.”
Vishal Anand, Pro-Chancellor, Shoolini University, highlighted the significance of this collaboration in providing global exposure to students and faculty. He said, “Our partnership with the University of Melbourne opens new doors for innovation and growth, giving our students an opportunity to learn and excel on a global platform.” Vice-Chancellor Professor Atul Khosla said that this partnership is a milestone in Shoolini University’s ongoing efforts to create a world-class learning environment. He said, “This collaboration provides our students with unique opportunities to engage in cutting-edge research and receive a world-class education.”
