North-South Partnership
of the Program
MPPG program is a joint program of the Department
of General and Continuing Education, NSU, and the Department of
Administration and Organization Theory, University of Bergen, Norway
with partnership with the Central Department of Public Administration
Tribhuvan University, Nepal. The MPPG program, the one of its kind
in South Asia, aims to attract students from the South Asian region.
Norwegian students from the faculty of social sciences
at University of Bergen are encouraged to take part of their studies
in Bangladesh. The North-South University has competent members
of the faculty and a very congenial academic atmosphere for knowledge
production and dissemination. In this regard, the MPPG Program with
relevant courses within the fields of social science will be attractive
to Norwegian students.
Furthermore, the Department of Administration and
Organization Theory at University of Bergen admits 5-8 students
from South Asia (mainly from Bangladesh and Nepal) every year under
the Quota Scholarship program and the erstwhile Norad Fellowship
Program (NFP). In the future, a sandwich program will be established
between Bergen and NSU to allow new quota students to take certain
courses at NSU to prepare them for better utilization of their academic
and scholarly activities in Bergen. The MPPG Program may admit quota
students from this region to make full use of the MPPG Program at
North-South University.
