Our partnerships with academic institutions

The University works with education and commercial organisations to extend and enhance opportunities for students and organisations in the UK and globally.

We seek to develop strategic relationships with partner institutions of scale and significance, which have strategic importance or potential to the University within the UK and in Transnational Education. As the changing HE environment develops we are also deliberately seeking ways to ensure maximum mutual benefit with our regional Further Education Colleges.
