CSI College for Advanced Studies, Punnakkadu, has initiated preliminary discussions with the University of Salford, Greater Manchester, UK, to explore academic cooperation in Psychology and Animation & Graphic Design. The discussions with Mrs Natalie Yates-Bolton, Senior Lecturer in Nursing and International Lead, School of Health & Society, University of Salford, focused on developing international academic opportunities for students and faculty.
Potential areas of cooperation include online guest lectures and masterclasses, faculty-student interactions, research and methodology sessions, portfolio reviews, student project presentations, interaction with academics and creative professionals, and guidance on higher-study opportunities. Rt Rev Dr Malayil Sabu Koshy Cherian and representatives of the College participated in the discussions, which were coordinated by Dr Ajimol Chacko, CSI Church member and Assistant Professor at the University of Salford.
CSI College has already established academic collaboration with Bishop Heber College, Tiruchirappalli, and is in discussions with universities in the United States. With growing strengths in Psychology, Animation & Graphic Design, and Food Technology & Quality Assurance, the proposed collaboration with Salford is expected to enhance international academic exposure and support the College's continuing academic growth.
