The University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P) recently hosted representatives from two international higher education institutions as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen and expand its global academic partnerships.

On February 6, 2026, delegates from Technische Hochschule Nürnberg Georg Simon Ohm (THN), Nuremberg, Germany, visited the University for a meeting to revisit the existing Memorandum of Understanding between the two institutions. The discussion was held at the ALB Conference Room and was led by Dr. Dirk Honold, Coordinator for Finance of THN.

This was followed by a visit on February 9, 2026, from the Higher School of Economics (HSE), Russia, for an initial collaboration meeting. Representing HSE were Mr. Svyatoslav (Slava) Kvartalnov, Director of the Representative Offices Department, and Ms. Kseniia Nicheuhina, Head of the Centre for International Education at the International Office. The meeting explored potential areas of partnership and future academic cooperation.

Both visits underscore UA&P’s commitment to fostering international linkages that support academic excellence, faculty engagement, and student opportunities.
