Kent and Surrey has joined hands with the MIT Institute of Design in Pune, to offer courses in fashion that are currently a part of UCA syllabus. Both the universities look forward to develop postgraduate courses together. The collaboration will also create potential for student exchange programs and research activities. The courses, which will include the same content as those delivered in England, will commence in July 2012.

According to Sunil Karad, Executive Director of MIT Institute of Design, “The fashion industry in India has seen rapid growth in recent years, and fashion graduates are much in demand. This new agreement between us and UCA will make first class fashion education available to Indian students in their native country, enabling them to make the most of the exciting new job opportunities that are emerging.”
