Part\nof the charm of studying at a global university is that you become a global\nresident. That\u2019s how it has been for Irchard Mahomed at O.P. Jindal Global\nUniversity (JGU). Irchard was popular among both local and international\nstudent communities. In fact, with support from the then Director of the\nInternational Office at JGU, Mr. Aman Shah, this student who is a Mozambique national\noffered Portuguese language classes to students, faculty, and staff on campus,\nwhich further boosted his popularity. \u2018JGU exposed me to a whole new world of\npossibilities,\u2019 he says with a smile. Putting to good use the opportunities\nthat came his way, Irchard is now making a name for himself in academia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Irchard\nworks as a lecturer at Instituto Superior de Rela\u00e7\u00f5es Internacionais – ISRI,\nwhere he teaches Energy Diplomacy and Security, and International Relations\nTheory. In the past three years, he has also worked as a part-time faculty\nmember at Instituto Superior de Comunica\u00e7\u00e3o e Imagem de Mo\u00e7ambique (ISCIM)\nwhere he taught Public Relations and Negotiations. His teachers and colleagues at\nJindal School of International Affairs (JSIA), where he did his MA in\nDiplomacy, Law, and Business, have inspired him, shares Irchard. Talking about\nhis Dean, Professor Sreeram Chaulia, who guided his dissertation, Irchard says,\n\u2018He expected\nnothing less than high-quality work and, as a mentor, provided extensive\nsupport and guidance.\u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n According to <\/em>Irchard, <\/em>his\ntime at JGU was defined by professional and personal learning. He could realize\nthe importance of pursuing personal interests with complete passion. Since then,\nwhile following his academic career, he has also pursued interests that have\nled to personal growth. He has received training from different institutes on a\nnumber of subjects including Maritime Security (Pontificia Universidad Cat\u00f3lica\nde Valpara\u00edso in Chile, and Instituto Superior de Rela\u00e7\u00f5esInternacionais),\nPsychopedagogy (Pedagogical University Foundation), and Sukuk – Shariah and\nOperational Aspects (Islamic Research and Training Institute, Islamic\nDevelopment Bank, and Higher Institute of Communication of Mozambique).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recently, Irchard represented the <\/em>Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry at\nthe Maputo International Trade Fair. He has also founded the Academia de\nInvestiga\u00e7\u00e3oMar\u00edtima, Energ\u00e9tica e International, a private institution\ndedicated to research, consulting, and publishing in international affairs, and\nmaritime and energy studies. A journal on international affairs and maritime\nand energy studies is also in the pipeline. He doesn\u2019t want to limit his\nachievements and growth to one area; something he learned at JGU. His university\nexperience has left an indelible mark on him. Not surprisingly, he is keen on\nstarting the JGU alumni chapter in Mozambique, home to 35 JGU alumni. Now\nthat\u2019s another side to a truly global university experience.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Part of the charm of studying at a global university is that you become a global resident.
