We hope that the collaboration between FTUI and TUAT continues to strengthen the relationship between the two institutions, especially as FTUI is expanding its educational cooperation in the International Class program, both at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Therefore, we hope TUAT can become our partner in future academic exchange programs.”
