The Cooperation and International Relations Unit (CIRU)

Welcome Note

Our main task is to explore, develop, foster and manage BAU’s local and international engagements in a manner that reflects and furthers the university’s strategic objectives across the themes of partnership, exchange and community. We do so through the management of BAU’s agreements, exchange programs, mobility scholarships, and constant exploration of collaboration opportunities with current and future partners. CIRO partnerships provide students with unique educational experiences via student exchange and mobility programs. These transformative learning experiences enhance students’ understanding of global citizenship and help prepare well-rounded individuals for living, and working in a multi-cultural world, and contributing to the sustainable development of their communities. CIRO’s partnerships and agreements also facilitate faculty exchange and staff training, and provide various networking opportunities that ensure life-long learning, and professional and academic growth.
