International Teaching Week is a structured academic mobility initiative designed to host international faculty from partner universities to deliver intensive teaching modules, lectures, workshops, and short courses. The programme aims to provide our students with exposure to global perspectives, diverse pedagogical practices, and international best standards in teaching and learning. Equally, ITW serves as a platform to foster meaningful academic engagement between visiting faculty and our academic community, thereby strengthening long-term institutional and research partnerships.

We would be honoured if your institution would consider nominating a faculty member to physically visit Presidency University and teach a course/module during ITW. Participating faculty are expected to:

1. Deliver a minimum of 15 contact hours of instruction during the week, and
2. Engage in at least one of the following academic activities:

·Co-supervise two final-year undergraduate students (remote)
