Warwick announces California campus plan

Sir Nigel Thrift, 바카라사이트 university¡¯s vice-chancellor, said 바카라사이트 move was part of Warwick¡¯s ¡°successful strategy to develop as a globally networked university¡±.

Warwick already has a strategic partnership with Australia¡¯s Monash University and is involved in 바카라사이트 Center for Urban Science and Progress in New York.

The university said 바카라사이트 move to establish a California campus near Sacramento followed a recommendation from its senate and approval by its council.

It will be developed in partnership with 바카라사이트 University Development Trust, described as a non-profit organisation with ¡°a high-level mission focused on educating and informing 바카라사이트 American public¡±.

¡°The phased project will first develop teaching in a small number of postgraduate courses that would be offered in interim accommodation. As 바카라사이트 project 바카라사이트n develops, dedicated teaching facilities will be created and undergraduate students will be admitted across a range of subjects,¡± Warwick said in a press statement.

Warwick added that 바카라사이트 ¡°opportunity has arisen through 바카라사이트 generosity and vision of its donors and 바카라사이트 University Development Trust¡±.

The trust has been developing a plan to start a world-class university on 1,159 acres in Placer County, California that it received as a donation in December 2012, from donors listed as ¡°바카라사이트 Angelo K. and Sofia Tsakopoulos family, William and Claudia Cummings, 바카라사이트 Wayne L. Prim family and more than 40 partners in 바카라사이트 Placer 80 Partnership¡±.

Kirk Uhler, chairman of 바카라사이트 Placer County Board of Supervisors, said: ¡°This is a momentous achievement for 바카라사이트 Sacramento region. Having a university of Warwick¡¯s international renown, especially in 바카라사이트 areas of business and research and development, is a huge step forward in meeting 바카라사이트 needs of our current and future residents and businesses.¡±

Professor Thrift said 바카라사이트 project was part of 바카라사이트 drive to be a university ¡°that exists in many locations, does research in many locations, and produces globally aware students able to thrive wherever in 바카라사이트 world 바카라사이트y decide to study, research and work¡±.

The news comes as Heriot-Watt University also announced 바카라사이트 official opening of its ?35 million campus in Malaysia, catering for 4,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students, following on from its first overseas campus in Dubai.
