An academic collaboration program that will involve scholarships for industry linked Master’s degree programs with Chonbuk National University (CNU) of South Korea has been initiated by Makerere University.
It was initiated through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between Makerere University Vice Chancellor, Prof John Ddumba Ssentamu and Lee Nam Ho, the president of Chonbuk National University in Kampala.
The initial program under the agreement will start in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES) and College of Veterinary Medicine, Animal Resources and Bio security (CoVAB).
Students will be trained in the fields of animal production and veterinary sciences. The Masters course is programmed for practical experience and value addition majoring on piggery, rice and dairy farming. Applications are scheduled for September 30, 2016.
Either institutions will send visiting professors on an exchange program for students during summer and winter vacations.
The Vice Chancellor reported that the university has increasingly opened up to new collaborations and partnerships to support the core functions of teaching, learning, research, and knowledge transfer.
“We are aware that Makerere University students are bright and wise, and therefore we request the professors to participate in the selection so that students can be leaders in Uganda’s agricultural development.” The Korean Representative noted.
