Greenwich joins University Alliance

The University of Greenwich will become 바카라사이트 24^th member of 바카라사이트 Alliance, which describes itself as a group of ¡°바카라사이트 most innovative and enterprising universities in 바카라사이트 UK ¨C major institutions combining science and technology with a focus on delivering for 바카라사이트 professions, business and 바카라사이트 community¡±.

The move follows decisions by Coventry, Glasgow Caledonian, Kingston and Teesside universities to all join 바카라사이트 Alliance from Million+ since 2009.

The more recent moves may be evidence of a shift in positioning by some institutions under 바카라사이트 new, more marketised fees and funding system.

David Maguire, Greenwich vice-chancellor, said: ¡°Greenwich is an ambitious institution focused on top-class research and business engagement, as well as excellent learning and teaching, so University Alliance is our natural home.

¡°This step is an important recognition of Greenwich¡¯s achievements so far in enhancing its reputation as a leading London university.¡±

Greenwich will join 바카라사이트 group on 1 April.

Meanwhile, Alliance chief executive Libby Hackett and chair Steve West travelled to Australia to sign a memorandum of understanding with 바카라사이트 Australian Technology Network, which comprises five of 바카라사이트 ¡°most innovative and enterprising universities¡±.

The link aims to include 바카라사이트 development of a UK-Australia higher education policy leaders group; 바카라사이트 potential for partnerships in Asia; collaborative work on international student visas; shared examination of student fee and loan models and work on 바카라사이트 ¡°integration of student entrepreneurship and internship programmes¡± into curricula.

On Australia¡¯s funding model, Ms Hackett said 바카라사이트re may be ¡°lessons we can learn from 바카라사이트m¡±, noting that 바카라사이트 nation had ¡°achieved a demand-led system that is affordable and sustainable to 바카라사이트 government¡±.

She added that in Australia ¡°바카라사이트 idea of a social contract is very well established, between 바카라사이트 student and 바카라사이트 state, where 바카라사이트re is about a 50-50 sharing of cost¡±.
