With dissolution averted, Mike Jones speaks to university leaders about the need to look beyond the confines of your own borders and across the globe in order to stay ahead in the world of higher education. Controversial plans to dissolve Cardiff Metropolitan University stole headlines two years ago and in the intervening period, many within the pro-merger camp have watched with interest to see if it was justified in going it alone.

But since proposals to force its hand were scrapped and the university was given licence to continue operating as an autonomous institution, Cardiff Met has built upon its extensive international offering, which has long been a firm focus for the university. To be voted highest in the UK for learning experience and living experience, in the International Student Barometer conducted by i-Graduate, goes some way to showing where we are and the reputation we have built here.

Partnerships are initiated after both institutions recognise a match and common perspectives between both partners. Long-term partnerships are like a marriage — you have to choose them carefully.

TNE refers to education provision for students based in a country other than the one in which the awarding institution is located. For the UK, this means students based overseas studying for UK educational qualifications. TNE partnerships also enable UK-based Cardiff Met students to study part of their degree overseas on a Cardiff Met approved degree programme. When internationalisation was in its infancy, UK universities promoted having agents in each country, although there has since been a shift in focus to bring students from abroad to study in Cardiff.

This way we ensure that everyone is communicating with one another. Ours is a well-respected model and because the same programme is running across all 13 of our partnerships, students can move across campuses for one term.

London School of Commerce is the only associate college of Cardiff Met and is approved through franchise to enrol and deliver research degrees for Cardiff Met at its Business Research Institute in London.

We have a mandate to have no more than 20 TNE partnerships, which act as a platform for our students. Many business leaders want to do business with graduates from their alma mater. Cardiff Met is the only UK university to have been granted six EU Erasmus Mundus Action 2 projects consecutively.

Cardiff Met also co-ordinates two European-funded Tempus Trans-European Mobility Programme for University Studies projects in leadership in higher education management and building capacity for university management.

Cardiff Met progressed further this year with the launch of its first Indian office in Gurgaon, New Delhi, in conjunction with its business partner Planet EDU. To internationalise our student body is to provide every student with the best possible start in their chosen career paths. Like us on Facebook Follow us on Twitter Daily Newsletter.
