The VC along with other representatives welcomed and provided an overview of the programmes, work, operations and diversity of the University. Mention was also made of TAU’s plans for expansion at the Providence and economic contributions to Guyana.
The Director of Operations indicated that TAU currently has two (2) UK students. He also mentioned that students from UK usually have high expectations of the campus and the country. Further, he noted that even though clinical rotations are not currently done in UK, TAU still intends to search and partner with some good UK institutions to make this offer. Hopefully, the High Commission can support TAU in this aspect.
The High Commissioner indicated that UK currently has a Student Exchange Programme with the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) whereby one UK student works with the hospital per year. Additionally, he advised that TAU boost advertising and promotion in UK region to attract more students, especially, when some knowledge and connection already exists.
Thereafter, the VC and the High Commissioner both presented tokens to each other before touring the campus.
