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.
