What Are Branded Courses?
Branded Courses are a collaborative learning model in which the academic framework is defined by the university, while course content and practical components are enriched through the contributions of industry partners. This model enables students to work on real industry challenges, receive one-to-one feedback from professionals, and gain a strong competitive advantage for their post-graduation careers.
