Sask. Polytechnic signs agreement with schools in Germany

Dec 6, 2022 | 11:15 AM

Saskatchewan Polytechnic is expanding its horizons by signing more agreements with international post-secondary schools.

Following an announcement last month that the school, which has campuses in Saskatoon, Regina, Moose Jaw and Prince Albert, would be working with a school in the Philippines, new agreements have been reached with Germany.

Earlier this week, Sask Polytechnic signed memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with the International University of Applied Sciences and HTW Berlin – University of Applied Science to explore potential collaborations in areas like curriculum, applied research and student and faculty mobility.

“Peer-to-peer partnerships through MOUs are integral to fostering a culture of creativity and thought leadership aimed at addressing the problems of the future and preparing Sask Polytechnic graduates for success in the communities and economies of the future,” the school said in a release.

“Technology and digitization offer expanded opportunities to increase accessibility and flexibility, and to maximize student success,” Dr. Larry Rosia, Sask Polytechnic president and CEO, said. “Formalizing collaboration through MOUs such as these creates exciting opportunities to explore new, effective ways to enhance online applied learning capacity at Saskatchewan Polytechnic.”
