International Collaborations and Global Partnerships are integral to Jindal Global Law School’s (JGLS) commitment towards imparting innovative means of education in an open academic environment with global exposure. In keeping with O.P. Jindal Global (Institution of Eminence Deemed To Be University) mandate to promote public service, Jindal Global Law School (JGLS) believes that students should be provided the opportunity to learn from and work with the best and brightest legal minds from all across the world.
A global approach to education has become imperative in today’s world where legal aspects need to be viewed from a multi-national and multi-dimensional perspective. The availability of varied resources has shaped our viewpoint and has emphasized the advantages of diverse participation for a better understanding of global issues. Hence, the idea of a collaboration that transcends geographical, cultural, economic and political boundaries, which is truly international, is the need of the hour.
It is with this vision that JGLS considers international associations for professional growth and holistic development to be of vital importance. Students reap the benefits of these associations and gain a broader perspective through their time spent in partner institutions, either by way of student exchange programmes or short-term study abroad programmes.
The Office of International Collaborations (JGLS) is dedicated to providing international opportunities with the objective of enhancing the professional and academic profile of our students.
Global knowledge and education drive students towards recognizing and embracing an array of different cultural and community perspectives. An international experience creates new career opportunities, while also broadening the perspective of students. It is with this aim that JGLS considers Student Exchange programmes for one semester to be of vital importance.
JGLS offers a geographically diverse and academically enriching variety of Student Exchange programmes. We provide students the opportunity to spend a semester abroad at one of our partner institutions spread across varying legal systems, from common law to civil law. These exchanges offer each individual student something unique and remarkable to learn and bring back with them. The exchanges not only enrich students’ lives in the academic and professional sphere, but also enhance language learning, intercultural skills, self-reliance, self-awareness, and a plethora of soft skills that are crucial in today’s time. These experiences help students become citizens of the world, replete with the abilities and responsibilities attached to such global citizenship. In addition, these qualities also enhance students’ job prospects in a dynamic professional workplace where employers across the globe have gone ‘global’.
The Student Exchange programmes are open for our students pursuing the five-year B.A. LL.B / B.B.A. LL.B programmes; three-year LL.B. programme and one-year LL.M. programme. The exchanges are mutual and shared with our partner institutions. Each year, eligible students from JGLS spend a semester at one of our partner institutions across the globe and we host their students on our residential campus. The programme is revenue-neutral with respect to tuition fees. Students continue to pay their tuition fees at their respective home institution; however, they are responsible for their travel, living and other ancillary expenditure.
In order to apply for the Semester Exchange programmes, a student should meet the given eligibility criteria:
To foster a collaborative research culture, JGLS has witnessed growth of two jointly run research centres, that work on cutting edge issues on law and policy, that fall under their domain:
The India-Australia relationship is growing from strength to strength, encouraged by the convergence of common interests in various areas such as education, regional security, energy and resources and international trade. Both nations have taken extraordinary steps to strengthen bilateral ties.
The Centre for India Australia Studies (CIAS) has been established to harness this momentum and drive collaboration in key areas of the relationship. The CIAS is the first and only Centre with a focus on the India-Australia bilateral relationship that is embedded in an Indian Higher Education Institution. The vision of CIAS is to emphasise the important bilateral relationship existing between India and Australia.
The CIAS has created opportunities for students and academics in India to learn about, and experience, Australia, and for Australian students and academics to learn about India.
To date, the India Immersion Programme has hosted more than 100 Australian students for intensive residential programmes in India, all funded by the Australian Government’s New Colombo Plan. The students gain learn about Indian society, culture, foreign policy, business and law. In addition, the CIAS runs an international internship programme, providing opportunities for students in Australia and India to gain work experience in leading institutes, companies and Government bodies, in the other country. The CIAS also runs an Australia Studies programme in India, teaching Indian students about Australian society, culture, business and law.
The CIAS also catalyses academic linkages through joint conferences, joint teaching and joint publications with Australian partner universities. More than 200 distinguished Australians have visited JGU and the CIAS since its inception in 2016.
