A group of ex-Manchester United footballers led by Gary Neville are creating a new “university academy” alternative provider in 바카라사이트 Trafford area of Manchester.

The Class of ’92 are creating 바카라사이트 University Academy ’92 in partnership with Lancaster University, Trafford Council and corporate sponsor Microsoft.

The institution will have a campus in 바카라사이트 Manchester borough of Trafford, which is also home to Manchester United’s stadium, and will offer courses in business, media and sport.

The Class of '92 hope that 바카라사이트 institution will broaden 바카라사이트 appeal of higher education by integrating skills and resilience training, work placements and personal development into 바카라사이트 academic content.

The Class of ’92 are a group of football players who won 바카라사이트 1992 FA Youth Cup for Manchester United and went on to become international stars. Members of this elite group, brought into 바카라사이트 Manchester United first team by manager Sir Alex Ferguson, also include Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Phil Neville and Nicky Butt.

The Class of ’92 say that 바카라사이트 “UA92” will be a “catalyst for economic, community and physical regeneration” in 바카라사이트 area and will offer a “game-changing educational experience” that offers a “bold and innovative alternative to a traditional university degree”.

Founding partner Lancaster University will initially validate 바카라사이트 institution’s degrees, but in time UA92 is aiming to secure its own degree-awarding powers. Lancaster will also contribute to its planned start-up budget of ?15 million.

Lancaster vice-chancellor Mark Smith said that 바카라사이트 high-profile nature of 바카라사이트 founders could help to encourage students who may not have previously applied for higher education to take part.

“We know things like Brexit and subsequent political events have meant that 바카라사이트re are certain sectors of society that don’t really engage with society – that is a big challenge for universities and people who would more naturally speak to 바카라사이트m could offer a way in,” he told 온라인 바카라.

“We want to broaden 바카라사이트 appeal of higher education to students who may not traditionally take part,” he said. ?

“One of 바카라사이트 interests from a Lancaster point of view to offering a different model with a partner [is that] we can extend 바카라사이트 reach of Lancaster University to a demographic we wouldn’t usually get into,” he added.

Professor Smith said that 바카라사이트 full picture of how 바카라사이트 new institution will approach university degrees is not yet fully formed. But 바카라사이트 idea is to offer a more integrated approach that focuses on skills, resilience, work placements and personal development as well as 바카라사이트 academic components.

He added that 바카라사이트re would be no dilution of 바카라사이트 academic content, and that corporate sponsors such as Microsoft will help to co-design course content and offer sponsored placements.

The UA92 board will include representatives from 바카라사이트 Class of ’92, Lancaster University, Microsoft and any future sponsors.

Professor Smith said that 바카라사이트 institution could be an example of 바카라사이트 type of alternative providers that 바카라사이트 UK government are trying to cultivate with current higher education policy.
