International


The university commissioned an independent review of its international work which resulted in an updated international plan and agreement to create a new international office.


In July 2010 the Faculty of Health and Wellbeing hosted a royal visit by the Crown Prince and Princess of Perlis. The Princess is President of Allianze College of Medical Sciences (ACMS) (the university’s collaborative partner in Northern Malaysia). Official memoranda were signed and further plans discussed for starting the new top-up BSc (Hons) Nursing Studies and MSc Teaching for Health Professionals in HE from early 2011.


The new MBA in Leadership and Sustainability recruited very strongly with 140 international students and featured in the Financial Times annual list of top online programmes. The first cohort of our overseas franchise with South Thames College, a large London-based FE college with an established track record in international recruitment, experienced their residential module at Ambleside. A further two residential sessions happened in October 2011 and ten more are planned for 2012.


In late June, the Dean of the Faculty of Health and Wellbeing represented the university on a UK trade mission to India and met representatives of the Indian health services, universities and colleges.
