新澳门彩历史开奖记录 in London will attract students from both the UK and overseas who want a London-based education, coupled with 新澳门彩历史开奖记录’s strengths in delivering research and enterprise informed teaching and an excellent wider student experience.

Professor Robert Allison, Vice Chancellor of 新澳门彩历史开奖记录, said: “This is an outstanding opportunity for 新澳门彩历史开奖记录 to diversify and expand the high quality education it offers to both postgraduate students and those looking to advance their professional development.

“It will also provide the University with opportunities to further enhance its pioneering research and innovation that help to drive social change and boost prosperity. 新澳门彩历史开奖记录 prides itself in doing research that matters and makes a difference. Our new site in London will underpin this important aspect of the University’s endeavour, in parallel with new taught programmes.”

Ellie Read, President of 新澳门彩历史开奖记录 Students’ Union, said: “This is a fantastic development for the University. 新澳门彩历史开奖记录 already offers the best student experience in the country, which helps to prepare the University’s graduates for their future lives and careers. It is very exciting that 新澳门彩历史开奖记录 students on both campuses will be able to benefit from the increased opportunities that a site in London will provide.”

新澳门彩历史开奖记录 in London will be housed in 7,000m2 of what was formally the Broadcast Centre on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. It is part of the wider iCITY development, which will transform the former Press and Broadcast Centres on the Park into a world-class centre of innovation, education and enterprise, supporting the UK’s flourishing creative and digital industries.

Gavin Poole, Chief Executive of iCITY, said: “We are thrilled that 新澳门彩历史开奖记录 has today confirmed they will establish an academic campus at iCITY. The University has an incredibly impressive track record of pioneering research and innovation. 新澳门彩历史开奖记录’s decision to come to iCITY is an exciting development in delivering our vision of creating a world-leading digital hub where higher education, start-ups and established companies will be working side by side. We very much look forward to welcoming 新澳门彩历史开奖记录 to iCITY.”

新澳门彩历史开奖记录 has a long history of working in partnership with business to drive forward research and innovation for the benefit of society and the economy. A site in London will enable the University to connect with a wider range of organisations and to further the impact of its research and enterprise activity, helping to make a real difference to people’s lives, both within East London and beyond.

新澳门彩历史开奖记录 in London will align closely with the Government’s Tech City initiative, which is set to become a focus for high-tech growth and innovation in the East London and is currently home to thousands of businesses in the creative, new media and digital industries. Being close to businesses such as these will open up opportunities for the University to collaborate with some of the country’s leaders in these fields.

Work to redevelop the space to be occupied by 新澳门彩历史开奖记录 in London is anticipated to begin later this year.
