Symbiosis College Of Arts & Science Pune Extends ISDC Partnership To The New BCom Programme

November 8, 2021: A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between Symbiosis, Pune, and the International Skill Development Corporation (ISDC), UK, with the goal of assisting the institute's students in obtaining international accreditations, industry-centric practical knowledge, and strategic placement visions.

Dr Hrishikesh Soman, principal of Symbiosis College of Arts & Science Pune, and Shone Babu, Head of Strategic Relations at ISDC, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the delivery of the CIMA Integrated B.Com Qualification. Since 2018, ISDC has partnered with Symbiosis to give an ACCA-accredited BCom degree.

ISDC (International Skill Development Corporation) is a leading international provider of British education and skills with a presence in India. It works with over 200 universities and higher education providers to develop and upgrade academic degrees in order to pursue external accreditations, memberships, and qualifications in the future. ISDC collaborates with the UK Skills Federation, the Scottish Qualifications Authority, a large number of universities, and more than 25 professional bodies in the UK to help them expand their market, expand their education, and grow their businesses.

ISDC would enable Symbiosis and its students in obtaining a CIMA qualification while studying a BCom degree in collaboration with the Global Body for Management Accountants - CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants).

The relationship, which aims to educate students for the global job market, will allow them to develop practical and in-demand industry experience and skillsets in areas such as accounting, taxation, risk assessment, risk management, and more.

"The MoU's provisions will ensure that frequent and exclusive training sessions, workshops, and seminars are held to ensure that students' knowledge and job preparedness are enhanced," Tom Joseph, Executive Director - Strategy & Development at ISDC said.

"The MoU with ISDC will not only improve students' learning experiences, but it will also assist faculties in upgrading themselves through many Faculty Development Programmes (FDP) that will be held during the MoU's lifetime," Dr Soman explained.
