In a significant move to redefine global education and research, University of Petroleum and Energy Studies college, Dehradun has partnered with The University of Law (ULaw), UK, to establish a Centre of Excellence (CoE) on its campus. This landmark collaboration, formalised through an MoU, aims to accelerate AI-driven research, student mobility, and faculty exchange programs.

Faculty from both institutions will co-deliver programs, enhancing teaching methodologies and academic standards.
The partnership introduces student mobility initiatives offering international exposure and structured certification. “We are excited to bring ULaw’s 148-year legacy to India,” said Prof. Peter Crisp, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, ULaw. “This collaboration is about shaping future-ready legal professionals.”
