New Delhi: The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Training and Advanced Studies in Management and Communications (TASMAC), London School of Business, to open an international partner institute.

According to the MoU, signed by IGNOU Registrar U.S. Tolia and TASMAC's chairman and managing director Giri Dua, "The institute will offer about two dozens of IGNOU academic programmes and these would benefit not only learners of the Indian diaspora but also transnational students," IGNOU said in a statement on Saturday.

Dua said the institute is the "first wholly owned subsidiary between India and the UK in the education sector."

The institute will be accredited to the British Accreditation Council (BAC) and also licensed by the UK Borders Agency (Home Office). It is also a member of the European Council for Business Education, Study UK and the Association of Collegiate Business School and Programmes.
