What our Affiliated Universities Say

"Students on the U21Global programme can get access to libraries, course materials, discussion boards and chat rooms to network with other students around the world at any time, while there is 24/7 access to support services? something that even the best funded campus universities cannot provide."

"Currently, we have over 3000 students at U21Global from over 60 different countries, so students may find themselves working with another student from, let's say - the Middle East, one from India, one from China, one from Singapore, exactly what you want to develop - cross cultural sensitivities in today's global world."

"The courses that we put on at U21Global are of course very flexible in their study time. We think that they are extremely suitable for senior executives, professionals, with what we call "cutting edge life styles" - that's those who have family commitments, who have full time work commitments, of course, and who may have travel commitments as well because they work within essentially what is a global business environment today."

"The London Business School has recently produced a survey of the objectives of an MBA programme. Two of those objectives are that students should have a greater global outlook in life, of course this being one of the things that U21Global programs are very strong at. The second one is that students should come out of an MBA programme able to work well in teams. You will see from U21Global programmes that there is a lot of concentration on team work. Students work in teams for projects, they are interacting with each other all the time, and it's an ideal opportunity to develop the teamwork, leadership and communicative skills that are necessary in that environment."

"For students who are unable to attend a campus-based MBA programme, U21Global MBA programme offers convenience and flexibility, allowing students to complete their MBA study while balancing their work and family life."

Professor John Spinks
Senior Advisor to the Vice-Chancellor
University of Hong Kong

"The world's best universities continually produce the best crop of curriculum. Borderless learning is indisputably the way forward. Indeed, we are honoured to partner U21Global in this new path-defining eLearning challenge that we have taken on in affiliation with many of the world's best universities."

Professor Shih Choon Fong
President
National University of Singapore

"For students who are unable to attend a campus-based MBA programme, a U21Global MBA programme offers convenience and flexibility, allowing students to complete their MBA study while balancing their work and family life."

"U21Global has stringent quality assurance mechanisms. Universitas 21 has established U21pedagogica as an independent review body which reviews the subjects, courses and faculty appointments made by U21Global. These stringent quality assurance processes ensure that U21Global's subjects and courses meet the same standards as those of Universitas 21 universities."

Mr Ian Marshman
Senior Vice-Principal
University of Melbourne

"The quality of the material that U21Global produced is exceptional."

Prof John Hay
Vice-Chancellor
University of Queensland

"U21Global provides a significant addition to the list of top-class MBAs. It gives the student unable to attend a campus-based MBA program a unique opportunity to benefit from the best."

"In its first couple of years, U21Global has demonstrated that stimulating programs, close contact between faculty and students - and among students - high student retention rates and teaching of the highest quality are compatible with on-line education. "

"The U21Global programme is rigorously quality-assured and controlled by the members of Universitas 21 - a group of leading international universities. Try it and see ?"

Professor Michael Clarke
Vice-Principal
University of Birmingham

"Our international experience confirms the huge demand that exists for eLearning, especially in China and other countries in Asia . Potential online students are very conscious of the need for high quality courses provided by reputable organizations with a wealth of experience in their field."

"We have now invested in U21Global because online learning is a vital part of the future of higher education. All the universities that are involved are good universities, so they guarantee the quality. This venture in U21Global allows them to share the costs of doing online education which are inevitably quite expensive. We are not for profit organizations, so what we are involved in here is a mission not a business. But by working together we can share costs."

"We benefit from being involved in the process of providing online education because this is a vital thing for most countries in the world. No country will be able to build physically all the universities for all the younger people and the older people who will want to do university degrees in the future. So, by working with other research intensive universities, we are getting this experience about how we can provide online education and we can envisage a world just a couple of years away where there is a virtual university going right around the world, 24 hours a day."

"I think we are actually benefiting from the online experience because this is a really important part of higher education from the internationalization. And I would expect to see some of the students studying online come to Nottingham and work on the campus and some of the students from Nottingham use U21Global's courses as well. So I think greater collaboration between Global and each university and between all the universities."

Prof Sir Colin Campbell LLD
Vice-Chancellor
University of Nottingham

"The University of Glasgow is a strong supporter of U21Global and indeed, the Glasgow Business School is working closely with U21Global to create innovative online and blended MSc and executive development programmes. These collaborative efforts will allow the University of Glasgow to move into valued programnes that it could not have readily developed without the U21Global joint effort."

"U21Global is a clear world leader in developing high-quality on-line learning. It is bringing top-class learning opportunities to students for whom an on-line experience, working in close virtual contact with tutors and other learners, is the best way of developing their skills and knowledge. We are proud to be working with U21Global to develop a joint programme in international management, combining the talents of the Global team with those of the internationally-renowned University of Glasgow School of Business and Management."

Sir Muir Russell KCB FRSE
Principal and Vice-Chancellor
The University of Glasgow

"U21Global has worked closely with Lund University on a number of activities which I am happy to support. For example, our private arm, Lund University Education (LUE) has an active MoU with U21Global and licenses some courseware. We are also exploring doing joint research into online learning effectiveness and outcomes. Both justify our faith in working with U21Global."

Professor Goran Bexell, Rektor
Lund University

Based on my extensive experience in this field, and my close knowledge of the U21pedagogica quality assurance system, I am very pleased to commend U21Global on its first three years of operation as an on-line distance learning institution, and to acknowledge its quality and commitment to students and learning.
