On Tuesday 2 May, the London School of Business and Finance Singapore hosted Professor Bashir Makhoul, Vice Chancellor at the University for the Creative Arts.

During the visit, both parties highlighted the importance of forging a partnership that would benefit students in Asia. They explored possible areas of collaboration such as joint teaching programmes, student and staff exchange programmes and joint research opportunities.

Both parties expressed their enthusiasm for working together and agreed to explore further opportunities for collaboration in the near future.

Mr Rathakrishnan Govind, Global CEO at LSBF in Singapore praised the University for the Creative Arts for its reputation as a leading institution in the creative arts and its contribution to the cultural landscape and said: “I’m looking forward to working with UCA. This is in line with LSBF’s strategy in bringing higher-ranked universities as partners to bring attractive and in-trend programmes to Singapore and the region. With good universities, the selling gets easier and elevates LSBF’s brand image and reputation.”

It was a productive visit overall and any future collaboration between the University for the Creative Arts and LSBF will benefit students and the wider community.
