Headed by Professor Muhammad Faisal, the NUS delegation examined the most optimal methods for setting up joint initiatives to provide the highest standards of education provided by a distinguished world-class faculty.
The two organisations are close to finalising a graduate degree in real estate, organising academic field visits by NUS graduate students to Dubai, future joint programmes and research on real estate issues in the Middle East.
The exchange of international expertise with these prominent academic institutions is crucial for developing its resource wealth and customizing the relevance of its course offerings to the regional and international marketplace.
