CNLU signs pact with UK's Leicester University for LLM programme

Patna: In a first-of-its-kind initiative, Chanakya National Law University (CNLU), based in Patna, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Law School at the University of Leicester, England. The agreement facilitates the admission of CNLU graduates into Leicester's LLM programme. The MoU was signed by CNLU vice-chancellor Faizan Mustafa and Daniel Greco, global partnerships manager, global operations, Future Students Office at the University of Leicester, according to a statement issued by CNLU on Friday. "As per the MoU, students from CNLU admitted to the LLM programme will receive a 30% fee concession at the University of Leicester. Also, CNLU will provide scholarships to support students from economically weaker backgrounds," the statement said. Highlighting the academic stature of its new partner, the university said, "The Law School at the University of Leicester is ranked 11th in the UK for research and has a strong reputation in mooting. It has won the ESU National Mooting Competition five times, more than any other law school in the UK." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Este suplemento pode ser o que falta para seu bem-estar completo AlwaysFit Undo Mustafa expressed optimism that similar partnerships with other international institutions would follow. "We hope to soon establish similar understandings with other foreign universities, paving the way for our graduates to pursue higher studies at leading international institutions," he said. He also envisioned broader collaboration between the two institutions in the years to come. "I hope that Leicester University and CNLU will eventually offer joint degrees and establish regular faculty and student exchange programmes. Such collaborations will also encourage joint research initiatives," he added. Commenting on recent developments in legal education and career preparation, Mustafa said: "With the Supreme Court having reinstated the three-year eligibility rule for Judicial Services examinations, I am now focusing my efforts on opening new avenues for our students. Higher education abroad is one such opportunity. Another major initiative will be the establishment of a Civil Services Academy at CNLU, offering personalised coaching. I want our students, especially those from humble backgrounds, to be able to enter the civil services immediately after graduation as they cannot afford to wait three more years."
