An agreement has been signed between the University and the Housing Authority to establish a Housing Authority chair in Housing Policy and Urban Governance at the Faculty of Economics, Management and Accountancy’s Department of Public Policy.
As a result of the agreement the department will offer studies in the areas of housing policy and governance of urban areas at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
Meanwhile, Middlesea Insurance plc and MSV Life plc renewed their sponsorship agreement with the University for the next three years. The agreement provides for Bachelor of Commerce commerce students to be encouraged to gain work experience with the sponsors.
It also enables the University’s Banking and Finance Department to invite three foreign professors and specialists on insurance to teach fourth year Honours students and to conduct research on the subject.
