Arden University and Roots IVY International College (RIIC)/Ivy College of Management Science (ICMS) have welcomed their first intake of new students
Following the launch of an innovative partnership, Arden University – a leading UK-based provider of flexible, online and blended learning – and Roots IVY International College (RIIC)/ICMS have welcomed their first intake of new students at the ICMS Lahore Campus.
These programmes are the outcome of an exclusive partnership between RIIC/ICMS, Pakistan’s pioneering trans-national education provider and UK-based Arden University, one of the few specialist international digital first learning universities to have launched in the last 50 years.
The courses will give students in Pakistan the ability to gain a UK degree in subjects including computing and business via Arden University’s popular and well-received blended learning platform, with in-person teaching taking place on Roots IVY’s campuses initially with ICMS in Lahore and extended to Roots Ivy in Islamabad in November, with plans in place to extend this to Lahore and Faisalabad early next year.
The partnership marks the ongoing growth and commitment Arden University has towards its students globally, and expands on its six UK-based study centres and EU site in Berlin.
“This is Arden’s first international partnership, and we could not be more excited to work with the Roots IVY/ICMS teams to welcome and guide new students on the journey towards their dream career,” commented Debra Hinds, Pro-Vice-Chancellor of Partnerships at Arden University.
“Despite being on the other side of the globe, our students in Pakistan will have access to the same high-quality educational experience our students in the UK and Berlin do. They will have access to industry-led resources and insights via our iLearn platform and lecturers who have an invaluable level of knowledge in their respective fields.”
“In the increasingly competitive environment of worldwide access to higher education, IVY Colleges offering international university degrees continue to propagate a guarantee of quality, value and intellectual rigour,” commented Dr Khadija Mushtaq, CEO of the IVY Academic Network.
