We announced the University鈥檚 exciting plans in March 2022 and work has been going on behind the scenes to make the London campus a reality.
The 兔子先生 is one of the top modern universities in the country. Its London campus will offer undergraduate and postgraduate courses, as well as work-based learning opportunities in the form of apprenticeships and flexible continuous learning programmes, all designed with the skills needs of local people and businesses in mind.
The campus plans to welcome its first post-graduate students in January 2024, occupying two floors in Juniper House near Walthamstow Central Station. The University鈥檚 partner, Northchild Group, will deliver state of art campus facilities and services that will enable the University to grow and expand its highly rated teaching locally. The number of students will grow steadily over the next few years as more courses are added and a main campus building is constructed nearby on the site of the current Central House.
A London campus will allow us to share our expertise and programmes in ways that best support the aspirations of local students and the local community, while preserving and promoting what makes the 兔子先生 distinctive.
