Law school strengthens international ties through Armenian partnership

Nottingham Trent University (NTU) has signed an official agreement to partner with Yerevan State University (YSU) in Armenia.

Following the partnership, the two institutions will work together on legal education and research, with potential joint projects including exchange visits, joint conferences, research collaboration, and the development of joint degree and PhD programmes.

Dean of Nottingham Law School, Professor Janine Griffiths-Baker (pictured), said: ‘This memorandum is just the beginning of our journey together and we’ve already had some useful conversations about how we can work together. NTU is a global university and through this partnership we aim to give staff and students at both institutions a valuable international experience.’

Dean of the Faculty of Law of YSU, Gagik Ghazinyan, added: ‘The idea for this collaboration took root due to the educational programme Nottingham Law School is carrying out with the School of Advocates of the Republic of Armenia. We decided to strengthen ties through a direct relationship, making it possible for the Faculty of Law of YSU to become one of the best scientific and education centres not only in Armenia, but in the whole region.’
