Â鶹´«Ã½ Leicester (Â鶹´«Ã½) is to offer a range of Business courses to students in Kazakhstan through a new international partnership.
Â鶹´«Ã½ has partnered with international study provider EdPeritus to offer a range of courses from Â鶹´«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 Â鶹´«Ã½, said the new partnership showed the strength and reputation of Â鶹´«Ã½’s courses in Business and Law worldwide.
He said: “The Kazakh government is very keen to be able to offer Â鶹´«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 Â鶹´«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. Â鶹´«Ã½ will oversee the delivery of academic programmes and ensure a quality student experience. Students will also have the opportunity to study on Â鶹´«Ã½'s Leicester campus for one year.
The offer is part of Â鶹´«Ã½’s TransNational Education (TNE) strategy, which includes working in collaboration with overseas partners to offer Â鶹´«Ã½ programmes to students around the world.
Final academic approval is due to take place on Wednesday 14 July.
