Prof AK Singh, Registrar, BHU signed the MoU, while Noriaki Koyama of Fast Retailing Co. signed the same digitally from Japan.
The three-year association will provide BHU students learning and internship opportunities in India and Japan, through the Japanese Business Culture Program, Global Management Program and Internship Opportunity at Uniqlo India.
Rajesh Singh, BHU spokesperson, said that the company’s tie-up with BHU will result in a series of global opportunities for students.
As a part of the Japanese Business Culture Program, selected undergraduate and postgraduate BHU students (around 30-100 of them) would be exposed to Uniqlo business model, Japanese culture, language and society.
Under the initiative, online classes will be taken by Uniqlo and partner universities in Japan like Waseda University, Kyoto University and Tokyo University of Foreign Languages. On the completion of the programme, students shall be provided certificates from these universities.
BHU students will also have an internship opportunity with Uniqlo India. Five selected students (UG and PG) will be able to pursue a one-month internship at New Delhi or any other Uniqlo location in India. This will be a sponsored internship for which students will be paid a stipend and will get certificates.
