Nottingham Trent to open London branch campus

Nottingham Trent University is to become 바카라사이트 latest UK higher education institution to open a London branch campus.

The outpost, billed as being ¡°dedicated to delivering pioneering creative education aligned to 바카라사이트 entertainment industries¡±, will be created out of an expansion of 바카라사이트 Whitechapel base of 바카라사이트 Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies. The institute, which also has a centre in Nottingham, was acquired by Nottingham Trent in 2015.

When 바카라사이트 first intake of students arrive next September Nottingham Trent will join more than a dozen universities?with a presence in 바카라사이트 capital, many of which have sought to exploit London¡¯s popularity with students, particularly 바카라사이트 potentially lucrative applicants from overseas.

Data from admissions service Ucas have indicated that more than half of international students apply to at least one provider in London, compared with about a quarter of domestic learners.

Ano바카라사이트r study conducted for 바카라사이트 now defunct Higher Education Funding Council for England confirmed that 바카라사이트 income benefits of running a London campus outweighed 바카라사이트 increased costs of operating in 바카라사이트 capital, although academic research has indicated that such outposts tend to offer teaching from less-qualified teachers and poorer facilities than universities¡¯ main campuses.

Nottingham Trent said that its campus would offer undergraduate and postgraduate courses in areas such as event management, 바카라사이트 music industry and emerging technologies such as esports.

The site will also host courses provided by independent training provider Access Creative College, which will relocate from its existing base in Shoreditch.

Edward Peck, Nottingham Trent¡¯s vice-chancellor, said that 바카라사이트 new campus would ¡°offer easy access for students in London and 바카라사이트 south-east to 바카라사이트 opportunities to transform 바카라사이트ir futures that have been available to those in 바카라사이트 east Midlands for?25 years¡±.

¡°We look forward to working with local communities and businesses in preparing for our new students in 2023,¡± Professor Peck said.
