How academic partnerships can provide a global community
Author: Richmond American University London
The global impact of academic partnerships for the University and its students has been brought to life through a report from IHE (Independent Higher Education).
Academic Partnerships in the UK – an IHE project, provides the first in-depth look at the key facets of academic partnerships.
Richmond American University London is featured as a case study in the report, demonstrating that our international model with UK and US degree awarding powers puts the University in a unique position to partner globally:
Richmond offers a close-knit community with only 700 undergraduate and 200 postgraduate students, but their partnerships around the world extend their reach for staff and students, enabling a small university to thrive in a global environment. Their global community brings diversity and shared cultural experiences into the heart of their curriculum – and offers benefits beyond what they could offer in the UK.
The report highlights the need for collaboration in higher education generally between all stakeholders to support and strengthen relationships with international partners for the benefit of students and providers in an ever-changing educational landscape.
