


programs which are conducted in English
Some existing Master and PhD programs are the joint programs with
the universities of the neighboring countries
NUOL does not have full autonomy in decision making on the related
matters
NUOL does not have a very precise guidelines for the exchange
program
NUOL has a very limited resources and facilities to support and
facilitate the cooperation program
Our working system is not autonomous, it takes time to make
decision and proceed, and it is hard to meet the deadline and
requirement
NUOL has no existing precise guidelines for the credit transfer, credit
recognition and the recognition of the diploma
