On Saturday 14th June in Mumbai, during the LOI Ceremony organised by the Government of Maharashtra, we have received the Letter of Intent (LOI) with which the Indian Ministry (Ministry of Education - Government of India) has expressed its willingness to grant us the possibility to teach the MUR accredited DAPL (Bachelor’s Degree) courses in Italy, thus recognising their legal, educational and cultural value.

We are the only Italian institution to receive the LOI along with four other international universities: the University of Aberdeen, the University of York, the University of Western Australia and the Illinois Institute of Technology.

The ceremony was attended by the Chief Academic Office of IED Group, Riccardo Balbo, who received the Letter of Intent from the Minister of Education - Government of India, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan.
