New Delhi :
Canada’s Schulich School of Business will launch a new MBA programme in Hyderabad in collaboration with the GME Group , the business school said in a statement.
Schulich will lauch its programme for 40 MBA students in Hyderabad as a part of a new arrangement between the School and GMR School of Business , an educational initiative of GMR Varalakshmi Foundation of the GMR Group.
Students will spend the first year at the Hyderabad campus and the second year at Schulich’s Toronto campus, and Schulich faculty will teach all of the courses in Hyderabad, as well as in Toronto. Schulich also plans to offer an executive MBA programme at the Hyderabad campus by 2015.
Dezso J Horvath dean of the Schulich School of Business said in a statement: “”We intend to offer that same level of excellence in the Schulich MBA in India programme that will commence this September at the newly constructed GMR School of Business,” he added.
In the past, the school has had exchange partner agreements with a number of Indian business schools including the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, and the Indian School of Business (ISB) in Hyderabad.
In 2005, Schulich opened an international satellite centre in Mumbai which provides career placement services to Schulich students and alumni seeking career opportunities in India; offers executive and leadership development programmes for Indian executives; supports Schulich’s alumni chapter in India; and manages local media relations.
Schulich previously offered the Schulich MBA in India programme in partnership with the SP Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR) in Mumbai. The Schulich MBA in India, which launched in January 2010, was the first MBA programme to be delivered in India by a leading international business school. Three cohorts have so far graduated through the programme.
