There is a well-established academic faculty here at ANC who have worked closely with my team in London to gain an incredible understanding and an ethos of maintaining quality to provide an excellent student experience. Ours is a two-way partnership, which is the reason behind its success. Within these six years, we have built a great platform which will allow us to expand to areas beyond Business and Law.” University of West London is a 150 year old academic institute that has acquired a reputation as one of the top multifaceted universities in the United Kingdom.

Mirroring of courses allows us to ensure that students receive the same calibre of education around the globe and that our graduate and post graduate degrees inculcate the same weight no matter wherever in the globe the study programs are held. This method lets us oversee the assessments and make certain that those are benchmarked with London. However, it is important is that there is still a local flavour, UWL encourages students to contextualize their case studies suit their country’s socio-economic and administrative backdrop. We are increasingly looking into strengthening the two way mirroring process to ascertain that the flow of knowledge remains a two way process.

This bilateral sharing of knowledge will ensure that UWL remains a truly global university. Our partnership with ANC has been focal point in this particular aspect our growth.” commented Prof Woodman.
