[1] NCUK describes itself as an organisation offering a variety of qualifications, supporting the academic and university progressions of students worldwide.
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.
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.
Early 2000s: Operations expanded primarily along the Eastern Seaboard of China, including cities such as Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Qingdao, and Dalian.
The NCUK Global Network includes partnerships with 60+ universities in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand as well with 110+ Study Centres in 40+ countries.
The list below shows 40 countries where the Study Centres are located:[4] After successfully completing their programme, students are granted access to the NCUK University Partners.
