Royal Agricultural University signs historic partnership agreement to establish new agricultural university in Uzbekistan.

Delighted to share that CCG has supported the partnering of The Royal Agricultural University with the Uzbekistan Ministry of Agriculture to launch the International Agriculture University (IAU) in Tashkent. The new International Agriculture University aims to lead the reform of higher education in agriculture in Uzbekistan and secure international recognition for agriculture’s role in Uzbekistan's transitional economy and society.

The partnership will give IAU students an equivalent educational experience to that of students at the RAU, with IAU students accessing a blend of face to face and online lectures and resources, by franchising some of the RAU’s existing degree programmes, and developing new degrees and modules to suit Uzbekistan’s conditions and its international trade ambitions as the new university grows and develops. Professor McCaffery from RAU said:

“The RAU is very proud to have been selected as a founding partner of IAU. For much of its 177-year history, the RAU has sought to collaborate with agricultural experts globally to ensure that students receive a world-class education that is both international in outlook and local in relevance and applicability”.

Looking forward to witnessing how this partnership progresses!
