New Year, New Partnerships
NIE is pleased to welcome its 18th and 19th partner universities through two Memoranda of Agreement (MoA) established early this year. The first was signed on 5 February 2018 with Griffith University (GU), Australia, (Image 1) while the second was signed on 6 February 2018 with Seoul National University (SNU), South Korea. (Image 2)
The MoAs will support the enhanced Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science in Education programmes. Partner universities will provide placements for our student teachers in two key initiatives of the NIE degree programme – international practicum and semester exchange. The immersion experience will allow student teachers to deepen their global perspectives of teaching and learning.
NIE expects to send up to five student teachers to GU in 2018 and up to two student teachers to SNU in 2019.
