Â鶹ֱ²¥ and University of Aberdeen have formed a strong working alliance between their creative arts departments, resulting in an academic staff exchange program, planned joint postgraduate opportunities for students and the announcement of a student literary publication.<\/p>\n

Associate Professor Steve Mickler, Â鶹ֱ²¥ Acting Pro Vice-Chancellor Humanities, said the partnership between the two universities allowed both students and staff to build a range of skills.<\/p>\n
\u201cStudents can take advantage of experiencing various perspectives and establish themselves as world citizens, developing international knowledge while keeping a sense of contrast,\u201d Associate Professor Mickler said.<\/p>\n
