Faculty Secondment Program
Faculty Secondment Program
Connecting Academia with Industry for Impactful Learning and Research
The Faculty Secondment Program at the Department of Physics, University of Management and Technology (UMT), is a strategic initiative aimed at strengthening academia-industry linkages. Each summer, faculty members are nominated to receive hands-on training and exposure at leading industrial or research organizations. This program ensures that our faculty stay attuned to current industrial technologies, practices, and challenges—enabling them to transfer practical insights to the classroom, curriculum design, and student research supervision.
By integrating real-world applications of physics with academic rigor, this initiative enhances the department's ability to produce industry-ready graduates and encourages applied research collaboration between UMT and the industrial sector.
