The move will allow HND Business students at Beaconhouse International College to do a one-year top-up program that will see them graduate with a BA from the University of Kent.
The program, which will be delivered and assessed in English, launches in October and will be offered across the college’s campuses in Islamabad, Faisalabad and Lahore.
Students will be registered with the University of Kent and be able to access all of the institution’s services remotely.
“I’m proud to have led on this exciting partnership with Beacon House International College, one of the leading and most experienced providers of transnational education,” Simone Davies, director of future students and brand at Kent University, told The PIE News. “We very much share the same values, and the same vision for our students’ success, with both of us offering wide ranging support to help them realise and fulfil their ambitions.
“This feels like the start of a very special and productive partnership. I look forward to all the opportunities it brings to students and staff.”
“I am delighted that the university has partnered with Beaconhouse International College, one of the world’s leading providers of transnational education,” said Kent’s interim vice-chancellor and president Georgina Randsley de Moura.
