The University of Cumbria International College will be based at the university’s Lancaster Campus and will offer a comprehensive selection of pathway and pre-master’s programs, supporting international students to progress onto a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses at the University.
“We are delighted to be partnering with Malvern International to deliver the University of Cumbria International College, an exciting part of our ‘Towards 2030’ strategy,” said Claire Aindow, pro vice chancellor growth and development at the University of Cumbria.
“International students add significantly to the vibrancy of our university, bringing greater diversity and talent and enhancing the experience of all our students and staff. The University of Cumbria already has global reach and impact, contributing to our thriving university, graduates and region. Together with our applied research focus, our graduates are part of communities and practice in over 100 countries across the world. The International College provision will build on this success and support all of our students to build global awareness and international networks for impact to graduation and beyond.”
Students attending the centre will “engage in a challenging and comprehensive academic curriculum, enhance their English language proficiency, and develop essential skills to excel academically and transition smoothly into university life,” a statement announcing the partnership read.
Meanwhile, Richard Mace, CEO at Malvern International, said the partnership, Malvern’s second this year, signifies its “commitment to growth within the pathways sector”.
Announced in January, Malvern International is set to open an International Study Centre in partnership with The University of Wolverhampton – delivering undergraduate foundation programs and pre-master’s programs.
Mace added that the recent partnership with Cumbria highlights Malvern’s “growing reputation for delivering exceptional services that bring value to both universities and students.”
“We’re excited to collaborate with the University of Cumbria in support of its ambitious ‘Towards 2030’ strategy. Together, we aim to create transformative opportunities for students while strengthening the University’s global presence and influence,” he added.
