IGNOU and TASMAC have entered into collaboration where TASMAC Students enrolling for the Global Programme in Business Leadership leading to the MBA degree from the University of Wales will now receive a Post Graduate Diploma in Global Business Leadership from Indira Gandhi National Open University.
This is great news for TASMAC students – they can now get dual awards:
- A Post Graduate Diploma in Global Business Leadership from IGNOU; and,
- MBA from the University of Wales, UK
Indira Gandhi National Open University is a central University established by an Act of Parliament in 1985. Founded on 19th November, 1985, IGNOU is now the world`s largest University with over 2.8 million students on the rolls.
Founded by Royal Charter in 1893, the University of Wales is the second largest University in the UK. The University is the degree awarding authority not only for its accredited and affiliated institutions, but also for over 100 other higher education institutions, both within the UK and overseas.
The Post Graduate Diploma in Global Business Leadership is an accelerated and an intensive programme of one year’s duration thus giving a head start to the students in their career as they can start working ahead of their peers. This also enables working professionals to take a one year sabbatical and equip themselves with a management degree. Working professionals also have an option of pursuing their diploma in the part – time mode within a period of 18 months to 24 months. The Post Graduate Diploma in Global Business Leadership will be offered in the full-time and the part-time mode of study at TASMAC Campuses in Pune, Bangalore, Kolkata and Mumbai.
With almost 20 years of experience in the field of Management Education, TASMAC has established its reputation over the years for setting the highest standards in education. In recognition of their eschewing the most stringent, tough-to-meet and sustain quality norms, the British Accreditation Council for Independent Further and Higher Education (BAC) accredited and recognized it as early as in 2002, making TASMAC the only institute in India and the first outside the UK / Europe to receive this prestigious accreditation. The students profile comprises Managing Directors, Directors, Chief Executive Officers, General Managers, Vice Presidents, Lawyers, Doctors, Chartered Accountants and Defence Personnel, Middle and Junior level Managers / Executives as well as fresh graduates.
Prof. Rajasekharan Pillai, Vice-Chancellor, IGNOU said about the partnership with TASMAC, “This programme is designed and developed with top leaders in business management and eminent academics. This is an illustrative example of Universities and corporate sector collaboration.”
Dr. Giri Dua, Chairman and Managing Director, TASMAC stated, “It is a great opportunity for students in India to receive 2 qualifications, one recognized in India and the other that is internationally recognized, and that too at fees much lower than what they would pay for an international qualification.” He added, “TASMAC’s London Campus is the London centre of IGNOU and we are pleased to have entered into a relationship with IGNOU for offering programmes at our campuses in India too”.
