University of Galway School of Law, Ireland, and Symbiosis Law School of Pune, India, have reaffirmed their commitment to fostering international collaboration in legal education through the renewal of their MOU.
As part of the collaboration, University of Galway has extended a scholarship worth €1500 (approximately 135,423 INR) to successful applicants from Symbiosis Law School who secure a place in their LLM program.
For international students, there are a variety of scholarships to help fund their studies in Ireland, a press release issued here said.
The venture is supported by Education in Ireland, under the Minister for Education and Skills and managed internationally by the Irish Government Trade Agency, Enterprise Ireland.
Speaking about the collaboration, Mr. Barry O’Driscoll, Regional Manager, Education in Ireland said, “The renewal of the MoU underscores our shared commitment in empowering the next generation of legal professionals. This initiative aims to facilitate greater access to quality legal education for deserving students.”
Prof. Martin Hogg, Dean of University of Galway School of Law who visited Symbiosis Law School to mark the renewal partnership said,” Ireland is the leading common law jurisdiction in the European Union and India is one of the most prominent common law jurisdictions of the world, and our renewed commitment to work together builds upon the strong foundations of our legal jurisdictions and the excellence of our faculty members and students.”
During the ceremony, Prof. Hogg engaged in discussions with faculty members of Symbiosis Law School to explore potential avenues for collaborative research initiatives.
Under the renewed agreement, both schools commit to improving teaching and research opportunities, strengthening their roles as top legal educators.
Professor Shashikala Gurpur, Director of Symbiosis Law School said, “SIU’s pioneer role in global and EU Legal Studies and all-round internationalisation of legal education, gets a new booster. We look forward to joint research, publications, collaborative online learning and exchange of best practices to strengthen our global competencies further.”
