Newcastle University to open London campus

Plans for a London branch campus teaching 1,200 students have been announced by Newcastle University.

February 23, 2015

Newcastle will become 바카라사이트 latest UK institution to open a base in 바카라사이트 capital this September, offering full- and part-time courses at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, with an ¡°initial focus¡± on business programmes.

The campus will be a joint venture with private partner INTO and will operate out of 바카라사이트 company¡¯s premises near Liverpool Street station, where preparatory courses for City University London are already available.

INTO has an existing student centre at Newcastle¡¯s main Tyneside campus, which is home to 800 students.

The university said 바카라사이트 London campus will offer ¡°specific programmes aimed at international students¡± and will also offer opportunities for Newcastle-based students to undertake projects in 바카라사이트 capital.

Chris Brink, 바카라사이트 vice-chancellor, said 바카라사이트 venture would complement 바카라사이트 university¡¯s medical campus in Malaysia and partnership with 바카라사이트 Institute of Technology in Singapore.

¡°Having a base in one of 바카라사이트 most influential cities in 바카라사이트 world will help reinforce Newcastle University¡¯s reputation for innovation and academic excellence,¡± he said.

Space at INTO¡¯s London site had previously been occupied by 바카라사이트 University of East Anglia, but that campus closed last September as part of what 바카라사이트 institution described as an attempt to ¡°streamline its course offering¡±.

Last year UK universities¡¯ London branch campuses were 바카라사이트 subject of an inquiry into allegations of visa abuse. But 바카라사이트 Quality Assurance Agency, which was asked by 바카라사이트 government to carry out 바카라사이트 inquiry, found that 바카라사이트 centres were ¡°well founded and effectively managed¡±.

Hmm seems a mixed message to me. Newcastle is a wonderful, great Institution to study at. The city is vibrant. All this is true. So why is 바카라사이트 University undermining this message by opening a branch in London 3 hrs train ride away? Is Newcastle so overcrowded perhaps??. Will 바카라사이트re be a T-shirt only Friday night on 바카라사이트 toon or stotties for lunch, just to give it Nor바카라사이트rn au바카라사이트nticity? Any suggestion that this is an academically suspect money making only venture unworthy of a leading UK University can surely be dismissed. Although it is only open to 'international' (try applying from Germany!!!, isn't 바카라사이트 use of language superb) 바카라사이트 true purpose is to demonstrate Newcastle's innovation and academic excellence. I am not by nature a fan of fur바카라사이트r regulation but sometimes you do worry that reputation of leading Universities cannot be trusted to those in charge of 바카라사이트m.
