VTU signs agreement with Dortmund University, Germany for academic progress

Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) has decided to enter into an academic agreement with Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Germany, in the coming academic year.

A delegation from the Dortmund university visited the VTU Regional Office at Nagarbhavi on Monday. Stephan Weyers, Vice-Rector for Teaching, Studies & International Affairs, Vinod Rajamani, professor of Vehicle Dynamics and Vice Dean met VTU Vice-Chancellor S. Vidyashankar and discussed several issues.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Vidyashankar said, “Already, the Dortmund University has signed academic agreements with two private colleges in Karnataka and is conducting certificate courses. In the same model, the VTU will enter into an academic agreement in the upcoming academic year for research and development. This will give our students the opportunity to go to Germany and learn.”

Mr. Weyers said, “We are eager to sign an agreement with the VTU. This will allow us to introduce a twinning programme. It will be very beneficial for students, as they will be able to come to Germany and study.”
