International Partnerships and Associations

The Academy is part of several unique partnerships and associations that have been formed with leading academic institutions, including institutions in North America, Europe, Africa and Asia. These partnerships contribute to the quality of the curriculum and to the professional development programmes. They also ensure that the Academies maintain and enhance their international standing.
