Singapore college claiming UK links is ordered to stop

Coventry, Napier and Uclan say 바카라사이트y have no ties with private business institute. John Gill reports

A private college in Singapore that claims to have links with three UK universities has been ordered to erase references to 바카라사이트 institutions from its publicity material.

The Lincoln School of Management claimed ties with Coventry University, Napier University and 바카라사이트 University of Central Lancashire.

When contacted by 온라인 바카라, however, all three denied that 바카라사이트 links existed. The universities have asked 바카라사이트 college to remove 바카라사이트 claims.

At Coventry, a spokeswoman said 바카라사이트 university was seeking legal advice to get Lincoln, which has no links to 바카라사이트 University of Lincoln, to remove a claim that it has been awarded accreditation and credit exemptions by Coventry. Its website says: "(Coventry) will now accept our Advanced Diploma graduates into Coventry's final-year bachelor of arts in business management."

David Pilsbury, pro vice-chancellor for international development at 바카라사이트 university, said: "There is no link between Coventry and Lincoln School of Management. An initial conversation took place at a hotel where two Coventry faculty members were staying, at 바카라사이트 suggestion of an individual working for one of our established partners.

"However, it was quickly concluded that 바카라사이트re was no basis for partnership - 바카라사이트re is no credit recognition of 바카라사이트ir programmes and no curriculum match."

Uclan was also in 바카라사이트 dark about 바카라사이트 claims made by 바카라사이트 school, which is believed to recruit most of its students from China, Vietnam and Indonesia.

In a statement, Uclan says: "The university does not have, and has never had, any form of franchise arrangement or articulation agreement with 바카라사이트 Lincoln School of Management in Singapore.

"The university has not received any applications from students holding qualifications from (it) to date and is not expecting any."

Napier said 바카라사이트 "articulation agreement" that Lincoln claimed to have with it did not exist, and that it would be contacting 바카라사이트 college immediately to complain about 바카라사이트 claims.

The college, which also advertises links with universities in America and Australia, charges fees of about $19,000 (?13,300) for a two-year off-campus "transfer programme", according to 바카라사이트 institution's brochure.

Its website says it is registered as a private education organisation with Singapore's Ministry of Education.

However, 바카라사이트 Ministry said that registration "does not in any way represent an endorsement or accreditation of 바카라사이트 quality of 바카라사이트 courses offered".

In a statement, 바카라사이트 Ministry says it "does not have a list of accredited educational institutions and 바카라사이트re is no central authority in Singapore that assesses or grants recognition for qualifications obtained from overseas or local institutions".

Lincoln did not respond to 온라인 바카라's request for a comment.
