What the International Visiting Professor Program is
The International Visiting Professor Program invites senior academics from universities across the globe for a week-long on-campus stay with Parul University through the Centre for International Relations and Research. In sync with guest lecturers, visiting professors can teach each session and participate in research efforts with faculty and students, as well as exchange ideas with them. The goal is a borderless classroom: Parul University’s students learn directly from professors who are trained and work in different academic systems, and the university establishes the cross-border research and teaching relationships that stand behind true internationalization.

A direction for students!
You can’t judge a university’s international nature by its brochure; you judge it by what is in the classroom. The International Visiting Professor Program brings in professors from reputed foreign universities to Parul students in all fields ranging from law and management to engineering, pharmacy, architecture, and applied sciences. For a prospective student who is considering where they should study, it is concrete proof of the international teaching experience embedded in the university and is part of Parul’s broader international environment of partner universities and international students. From this hub, you’ll be linked to detailed pages of each visiting professor along with what they taught.
