Collaborative partnerships
We are able to offer collaborative partnership links over a range of subject areas.
What is a collaborative partnership?
Collaborative partnerships is defined as 'all arrangements in which the University makes an award (solely or jointly) or gives credit towards an award on the basis of education provided by another institution or organisation in the UK or overseas.'
