Hyderabad: The University of Hyderabad (UoH) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Cambridge University Press to design and offer a certificate programme in Publishing from June 2022.
The Department of English has proposed the programme under the Institution of Eminence (IoE) project of the UoH. The three-month, 20-credit programme, will be taught, in the main, by experts from the industry and it will have an internship component too. The programme will teach components like the business of publishing, ‘the life of a book’, the editorial process etc.
UoH Vice Chancellor, Prof. BJ Rao said, “I am delighted at the MoU with Cambridge University Press, the oldest publishing house in the world. The certificate programme in Publishing which our Department of English has proposed with Cambridge under the IoE project is exactly the kind of skill-based, employment-centric programme with industry tie-in that we need for both the NEP 2020 and the IoE.”
