2013 Conference

At Regent’s we believe Internationalisation permeates everything we do, from recruitment and study abroad to the overall partnership activity supported and enhanced with this annual conference. As an internationally focussed institution, we work collaboratively with over 150 Higher Education Institutions worldwide. The partnership network provides students and staff with unique opportunities to further enhance their knowledge and skills.

The Conference was originally established in 1990 as a forum purely for our US Affiliates to meet with Regent’s College staff to review the curriculum and develop a deeper understanding of the academic study abroad opportunities available. Following the centralisation of the International Partnerships Office (IPO), the event was developed into a full three day Conference where the College becomes a networking hub for all partner institutions to meet and learn with and from each other, sharing best practices through presentations and workshops as well as having the opportunity to hear from experts in the field of International Higher Education through a series of high profile keynote addresses from external guest speakers.

Over the years, longstanding friendships have been forged, both with institutions and individuals. A highlight for many has always been the formal dinner party hosted, since 2006, by Professor Aldwyn Cooper, Chief Executive and Principal.

The International Partners’ Conference enhances the work of the IPO and all departments across the College. We want students to get the most out of their

time abroad and your participation here allows us to examine and discuss the ever changing needs and requirements of students. In recent years the College has seen significant growth, and the demand for student mobility, both inbound and outbound, is also growing. Communication is a key aspect of successful partnerships and your feedback helps us maintain and enhance the quality of the Regent’s College London student experience. Your attendance at this annual event is valued and we hope that you will find the Conference mutually beneficial.

Moving forward exciting new areas of international collaboration are opening up for the College. As you know, 2012 was a remarkable year for Regent’s College London. The College won degree-awarding powers in July 2012 and it is now in a strong position to continue developing and implementing its ambitious International Strategy. The powers are granted by the Privy Council on the advice of the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA), which looks for a “well-founded, cohesive and self-critical academic community that demonstrates firm guardianship of its standards”. At present, only six private providers in the UK have degree-awarding powers.

Our academics are professionally active, and the College is developing more opportunities for international research collaboration and the development of joint and double degrees with international partners. We look forward to discussing with you further ways to enhance our partnership.

Regent’s College London’s Chief Executive and Principal, the College Directorate and the International Partnerships Office are delighted to present you with the Programme for the 2013 International Partners' Conference.

We are delighted that you can join us for the event and look forward to being your hosts over the coming days.

International education is becoming increasingly recognised as an important component in the best students’ experience. This is reflected in the number of delegates registered for the event. In 2012 we welcomed 90 delegates from 50 institutions but for 2013, 134 colleagues from 70 partners in 16 countries have already registered and we expect that this number will grow.

2012 has been an exciting year for London, global higher education in general and Regent’s College London in particular. The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games in July to September, from the spectacular opening ceremony to the moving closure and passing of the flame to Brazil for 2016, provided a festival illustrating how nations worldwide can compete, collaborate and celebrate in peace and harmony. Our Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in June and her visits around the world enabled Britain to demonstrate its continuing commitment to making a real global contribution.

The pace of change in Higher Education worldwide continues to pick up speed. The balance in international demand between undergraduate and postgraduate applications continues to change. More universities worldwide are teaching in English in addition to or instead of the local language. The importance of international experience is being further recognised and the demand for study abroad is increasing.

The last year has also been an exciting time for Regent’s. Because of its special nature as a private, not for profit, Higher Education Institution we have been able to avoid some of the turmoil in the state funded sector. Despite increased pressures, Regent’s has maintained its Highly

Trusted Status (HTS) with the United Kingdom Border Agency (UKBA). Further, this year, we have created additional support for students who need help with visa matters and strengthened our records management.

Regent’s biggest news of the last year is that in July, as forecasted at the conference in January, the Privy Council granted us our own taught degree awarding powers. We are only the sixth private institution in the UK to gain these powers and we support the largest number of degree seeking students. We have now made formal application and have provided all the necessary information to gain full University title. This would make us only the second, private, not for profit university in Britain and the first since 1983.

There are many other developments and I hope to be able to share some of these with you during the event.

This year’s conference will focus on some of the big developments in transnational Higher Education and we have a first class programme of speakers from partner institutions and opinion formers in the European and UK HE system.

Your Welcome Pack and Guide contains the Conference programme including a campus map, a list of Conference delegates and information on London such as a guidebook, local travel information and a local area map to help you settle in.

We are delighted to welcome you as our guest and you will find enclosed your ticket for Thursday evening’s activity as well as your invitation to the Conference reception and dinner on Friday 11th January.

Many of you are old friends and we look forward to renewing our acquaintance. Some of you will not have visited us before and we look forward to sharing with you the College campus and understanding your thoughts on the future of global Higher Education.

It should be a first class few days and I hope that you will find it both informative and enjoyable.

With best wishes,Aldwyn CooperPrincipal and CEO

Situated on an eleven acre site in the heart of a Royal Park, Regent’s College London provides a tranquil campus environment only minutes away from the financial centre of London, the West End, and the many attractions of this exciting city.

About Regent’s College London

6

Regent’s Park has a strong history and background in education. The park itself, also known as “the jewel in the crown” was originally appropriated by King Henry VIII as a hunting ground. In 1908, Bedford College took a Crown lease on South Villa, moving into Regent’s Park from Bedford Square. Establishing many buildings on the present-day campus including Reid Hall and the Tate Library, Bedford College remained on the site until the 1970s when it moved to expand its programme (resulting in becoming Royal Holloway University). The campus was then established as a Study Abroad site for Rockford College, Illinois who took the Crown lease in 1984. As other educational institutions came to the site, these merged together to form what is today known as Regent’s College London.

Regent’s College London comprises of seven specialist Schools. All students are members of their own School, as well as members of the larger student community of Regent’s College London, and benefit from our extensive campus facilities and student support such as the Careers and Business Relations Office, Disability provision, IT facilities and even the chance to join the Championship winning Polo team!

With over 4,000 full time students, the College is already the biggest undergraduate provider in the UK outside the state-funded system, taking a multi-disciplinary approach and offering a wide breadth of study. The College also has more than 600 postgraduate students studying subjects ranging from banking and luxury brands through to international relations and psychotherapy.

On 1st September 2012, Regent’s College London officially gained Taught Degree Awarding Powers (TDAPs) giving the College the right to accredit its own degrees, and becoming one of only six private institutions in the UK with this power. The move is a major boost to current students, allowing all courses to be brought under a single set of academic regulations. The award follows a rigorous review over 18 months led by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA), which maintains standards in UK Higher Education. Gaining degree awarding powers forms part of the College’s long-term vision to become the leading private non-profit University in Europe, including our current application for full University title in the UK. It has a long standing commitment to research, with three research centres, plans in place to invest £30 million in research over next 5 years, and to achieve Research Degree Awarding Powers (RDAP) by 2016.

Local Travel Information

Walking

Central London is a great place to walk around with many attractions really near to each other. In your Welcome Pack you will find a street map to help you find your way around. Transport for London (TfL) operates an extensive bus and underground network which is efficient and safe. We have included a number of maps for both the underground and buses to help you plan your travel. You can also view transport maps online at http://www.tfl.gov.uk/.

Paying for Your Travel

An Oyster card is generally the cheapest way to make single journeys in the Capital. It costs three times more to buy single journeys without an Oyster card. An Oyster card can be used pay as you go and topped up as and when you use it. It can be used on buses, Tubes, trams, DLR, London Overground and National Rail services in London. Oyster cards can be purchased from the majority of London Underground Stations for a £5 refundable deposit.

Planning Your Journeys

The best way to plan your journey in London is to use the Transport for London website (www.tfl.gov.uk). This site has information on all forms of public transport in London including routes, maps, journey planner and online tickets sales.

Travelling at Night

Unlike many other international cities, the Tube in London closes just before midnight and does not open again until around 5am. After the Tube closes you have to rely on the night bus network or taxis. More than 60 night bus routes (which are prefixed with the letter ‘N’) run from midnight to 4:30am. Oxford Circus, Tottenham Court Road and Trafalgar Square are the main hubs. Being a big city, we recommend that you avoid travelling around London alone at night and stay in groups where possible. We would also advise taking a taxi when returning to the College late at night.
