Âéw¶¹´«Ã½ Leicester (Âéw¶¹´«Ã½) is to offer a range of Business courses to students in Kazakhstan through a new international partnership.
Âéw¶¹´«Ã½ has partnered with international study provider EdPeritus to offer a range of courses from Âéw¶¹´«Ã½’s Faculty of Business and Law including Accounting and Finance, Business and Marketing, and Law, among others, located on a campus in Esentai City, Almaty.
Teaching is set to start in September this year.
Simon Bradbury, Pro Vice-Chancellor International at Âéw¶¹´«Ã½, said the new partnership showed the strength and reputation of Âéw¶¹´«Ã½’s courses in Business and Law worldwide.
He said: “The Kazakh government is very keen to be able to offer Âéw¶¹´«Ã½ qualifications in Kazakhstan and this is because of our strong reputation internationally.
“For us, it means the opportunity of developing another strong international partnership, extending the global network Âéw¶¹´«Ã½ has and being able to share our teaching and extend the opportunities we offer our students to a new audience.”
The campus in Almaty, which will be managed by EdPeritus, will also offer students a medical centre, food outlets, indoor fitness centre and outdoor sports area. Âéw¶¹´«Ã½ will oversee the delivery of academic programmes and ensure a quality student experience. Students will also have the opportunity to study on Âéw¶¹´«Ã½'s Leicester campus for one year.
The offer is part of Âéw¶¹´«Ã½’s TransNational Education (TNE) strategy, which includes working in collaboration with overseas partners to offer Âéw¶¹´«Ã½ programmes to students around the world.
Final academic approval is due to take place on Wednesday 14 July.
