On Monday, Sept. 26, Dr. Eric Chowanietz, International Coordinator and Principal Lecturer at the Faculty of Technology, De Montfort University (DMU), visited Asian U for talks about cooperation projects with Ulrich Werner, Director of International Development at Asian U.
With Aj.

Furthermore, a Multimedia double-degree programme is planned (B.A. from Asian U and B.Sc. from DMU), for which the details will be worked out in the coming weeks.
