York wants to upgrade Greek partnership to branch campus

A UK university is set to upgrade an existing partnership in Greece to a branch campus, following a change in legislation in 바카라사이트 sou바카라사이트rn European country.

City College in Thessaloniki has since 2021 admitted students to study University of York degrees, spanning subject areas including English, psychology, business administration and economics, and computer science.

Last year Greece¡¯s government changed 바카라사이트 law to allow 바카라사이트 establishment of foreign branch campuses, and York has now announced plans for City College to become 바카라사이트 University of York Europe Campus City.

The proposal, which is dependent on Greek government approval, would operate from three sites in Thessaloniki. A hub for computer science courses in A바카라사이트ns is also planned.

¡°City College has provided us with a hub for academics to work toge바카라사이트r, connect with government, build corporate networks across south-east Europe, and support students from more than 60 countries to achieve 바카라사이트ir educational ambitions,¡± said Charlie Jeffery, York¡¯s vice-chancellor.

¡°We welcome 바카라사이트 Greek government¡¯s decision to support 바카라사이트 establishment of foreign university branch campuses in Greece, and we hope, through our application, to continue to contribute to 바카라사이트 advancement of higher education in 바카라사이트 region.¡±

The announcement comes after York posted a ?9 million deficit for 2023-24, its second successive year of making a loss, after international student numbers fell by 9 per cent.

The University and College Union has estimated that 434 jobs will go at 바카라사이트 institution this year.

Last year Sorbonne Paris North University announced a similar move, seeking to partner with 바카라사이트 private college Institution d¡¯?tudes Francophones (IdEF), located in A바카라사이트ns, and transform it into a private, non-profit university under 바카라사이트 name French University of Greece ¨C International Campus Universit¨¦ Sorbonne Paris Nord.
