Hyderabad's Anurag University partners with Arizona State University to make global education affordable

HYDERABAD: Anurag University (AU) has partnered with US-based Arizona State University (ASU), to make global education more accessible and affordable for Indian students. This collaboration opens doors for AU students to pursue dual-degree programmes, engage in research partnerships, and gain global industry internships, Anurag University said in a release.

By bridging academic excellence from both institutions, the partnership aims to lower the cost of world-class education, it said. As part of the partnership, AU also joins the ASU-Cintana Alliance, a global network of leading universities across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.

This gives AU students and faculty access to cutting-edge research, international collaborations, and real-world industry projects, strengthening their global competitiveness, it said.
