Chennai's land mark educational institution, Madras Christian College signed an MOU with Queens University, Belfast for student exchange from the art, humanities and social science faculties. Madras Christian has slowly and steadily walked through history to emerge as one of the best south indian educational institution with a scottish back ground. Established in the 17th century by the scottish missionaries, the culture has been imbued in the veins of MCC with a significantly long era of Scottish principals. Based on a British system of education, the college is very much in the picture even today with flourishing departments specialising in arts, humanities, science and social sciences.

                       Signing the accord with the MCC, Professor John Thompson, Head of Queen's School English said that "This exciting new partnership will now see a whole new generation of scholars exploiting vital learning and research opportunities in Chennai and Belfast; building on our shared histories and identities“.
