Dr. Hasting McKenzie, Dean of Academic Partnerships, University of Northampton was pleased to announce that from September students will be able to apply and enroll for face-to-face teaching. This is a really significant development, it's taking a long time because of the pandemic, but as we recover, we need to obtain this option for tomorrow's students. These programmes will be genuine, it will not be a distance learning programme, students will learn from highly qualified University of Northampton staff. These UK degrees are available to study at Ziauddin University in Karachi, and I believe it is a wonderful chance for anybody who wishes to advance in their professions”.
Prof. Syed Irfan Hyder, Vice Chancellor; Prof. Dr. Abbas Zafar, Dean Faculty of Health Sciences and Capt. (R) Syed Waqar Hussain was also present on the occasion of the signing ceremony.
