Presently, our collaboration has extended further into the Double Degree undergraduate and graduate programs under the TEP-TEPE project (5-year study duration). The University of Nottingham has also offered tuition fee discounts to students and alumni of the Faculty of Engineering who apply for and are selected to pursue postgraduate studies at The University of Nottingham.

During their visit to the Faculty of Engineering, the representatives from The University of Nottingham participated in the interview process for new students of the TEP-TEPE program. They also delivered special lectures on postgraduate studies for interested students and provided guidance on preparation for further studies at The University of Nottingham. This guidance was especially tailored for TEP students planning to commence their studies at The University of Nottingham in September 2024.
