The Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU) is strategically committed to advance its portfolio of global partnerships through the development of sustainable and mutually beneficial alliances with academic institutions, government agencies and private industries that share common aims and interests. These alliances bring many benefits to staff and students alike, and extend and enhance the University’s international reach and reputation. The Office of External Linkages and International Affairs (ELIA) serves as the institution’s frontline arm in the University’s thrust to expand horizons on partnership development, increase its consortia or organizational memberships, and advance its internationalization and global engagement.

 

Driven to instigate the vision to become one of the Top 500 agricultural universities in Asia, the University aggressively takes bold imperative initiatives to develop a resilient internationalization engagement, to build relevant opportunities for faculty and students towards cross border mobility and internationalization of higher education, and to redesign the institution’s capability in escalating memberships in alliances and networks.

 

Most significantly, the University also envisions to serve as a meaningful international resource for the local community by creating awareness on globalization/internationalization, ASEAN integration, by inciting interest and appreciation of the language and culture of other nations, and by developing competent glocal graduates in addressing the current demands of the world labor market through an internationalized and industry-based curriculum.
