NCUK
NCUK (also known as NCUK - University Pathways) is an organisation that provides qualifications for international students wanting to enter leading universities. The organisation's main office is located in Manchester, UK, with key staff members located in Asian regions, including China.
NCUK describes itself as an organisation offering a variety of qualifications, supporting the academic and university progressions of students worldwide. Recognised by universities within the NCUK Global Network and beyond, the successful completion of an NCUK programme grants students access to over 60 NCUK University Partners, providing them with options to progress to universities in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, the USA, and Canada.
1987: The Northern Consortium was formed by a group of 12 universities and was based at The University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST)
Founding Universities:
Late 1980s and early 1990s: The Northern Consortium was established as a charity to professionalize international education, particularly focusing on transnational education opportunities in Malaysia.
The international offices of 12 universities in 1987, who collaborated to design and deliver a split degree program for Malaysian government-sponsored students, were the founders of The Northern Consortium. The Malaysian economy – engineering, computing, pharmacy and business – was aided through the Consortium's developed programs, also dubbed ‘transfer’ programs. Students would study for one year in Malaysia, before transferring to one of NCUK's founding universities, or to other UK institutions.
Throughout the project's 10-year span over 6,000 students have progressed through the programs and into UK institutions, saving the Malaysian government from significant costs in their sponsorship budget.
Late 1990s: They entered the Chinese market, with the International Foundation Program being introduced in the process. NCUK was among the first to offer such qualifications in China, earlier than the leading organizations A Levels and International Baccalaureate.
