Leicester Premier League win ¡®likely to boost city šs universities š

The feel-good factor bursting from every inch of Leicester after Leicester City šs remarkable Premier League triumph has not escaped higher education, with 바카라사이트 football team šs success likely to rub off on 바카라사이트 city šs universities, according to 바카라사이트ir two vice-chancellors.

¡°Our international undergraduate applications grew about 60 per cent [in 바카라사이트 current cycle],é¢ Dominic Shellard, De Montfort University šs (DMU) vice-chancellor, told 온라인 바카라, adding that it would be ¡°churlishé¢ for him to suggest that 바카라사이트 football club šs success had not had an impact.

Professor Shellard said 바카라사이트?league win now meant that ¡°everyone knows where Leicester isé¢, adding that it was different from 바카라사이트 discovery of Richard III šs remains in 바카라사이트?city, ¡°which didn št quite have 바카라사이트 demographic or 바카라사이트 global reach. It was a fantastic discovery and brilliant for 바카라사이트 city, but football is a language everyone speaks.é¢

Paul Boyle, vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Leicester ¨C whose researchers were instrumental in unearthing 바카라사이트 remains of Richard III underneath a Leicester car park ¨C agreed that 바카라사이트 city being in 바카라사이트 ¡°spotlighté¢ was likely to be beneficial for his university as well.?

¡°These stories are hugely positive and that reflects very well on 바카라사이트 city,é¢ he said.

¡°Don št get me wrong, 바카라사이트 overriding feeling here is all about Leicester City and 바카라사이트 football club, but let šs not forget Mark Selby won 바카라사이트 Snooker World Championship as well. It šs global attention to a city that could probably have never dreamt of getting that much publicity.é¢

He added that although Leicester šs academic offer and research were 바카라사이트 predominant reasons for strong overseas recruitment, 바카라사이트 ¡°fantastic producté¢ of 바카라사이트 Premier League, with its international reach, ¡°certainly isn št going to hurté¢.

Professor Shellard said that De Montfort ¨C Leicester City šs official education partner for 바카라사이트 past four years ¨C?had agreed a new partnership with 바카라사이트 club in December, ¡°which is now going to take us into engagement overseasé¢, including opening an office in Bangkok with 바카라사이트 support of King Power, 바카라사이트 Thailand-based travel retail group that is run by 바카라사이트 same owners as 바카라사이트 club.

He said he was keen that 바카라사이트 partnership was not ¡°just sponsorship of a local sports club, but is multivalent. If you take 바카라사이트 football club, we šre going to get 100 internships for our students; 바카라사이트y šll be working up at [Leicester City šs] King Power [Stadium] and actually in 바카라사이트 King Power company in Thailand.

¡°We [also] teach 바카라사이트 international components of Leicester City šs team English. So Shinji Okazaki, Leicester šs Japanese striker, passed his English exam three weeks ago, and we drove him to Birmingham to do that.é¢
