International Partners’ Conference 2014
Transnational Education (TNE) Purpose and Models
2014 Conference The International Partnerships Office is delighted to present you with the programme for the January 2014 International Partners’ Conference.
Internationalisation is a key strand of Regent’s University London’s institutional plan. We are rightly proud of our international activities and expertise. We are a community of over 140 different nationalities, have one of the largest study abroad programmes in the UK and teach nine foreign languages (ten including English). Many staff travel internationally and are engaged in international research activities. Others travel with students to events that enhance the student experience, be that the National Model United Nations Conference in New York or the International Collegiate Business Strategy Competition in California. Our international network of 10,300 alumni is spread across 145 countries and remains connected through regular international alumni events and social networks. There are a number of key themes that underpin our new Internationalisation Strategy, one of the most important of which is the development of sustainable relationships with key international partners. We have an extensive network of prestigious international partnerships, working collaboratively with over 160 Higher Education institutions worldwide. The partnership network provides students and staff with unique opportunities to further enhance their knowledge and skills and growing numbers of our partners send representatives to attend our International Partners’ Conference every January.
Originally this event was established in 1990 as a forum purely for US Affiliates to meet with Regent’s staff to review the study abroad curriculum. Following the centralisation of the International Partnerships Office (IPO), it was developed into a full three day Conference. During this annual event Regent’s University London becomes a networking hub for all partner universities to meet and learn with and from each other, sharing best practices though panel 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. The International Partners’ Conference enhances the work of the IPO and all departments across the University. 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 University 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 where possible enhance the quality of the Regent’s University London student experience. Your attendance at this annual event is valued and we hope that you will find the Conference a rewarding and stimulating experience. Moving forward exciting new areas of international collaboration are opening up for Regent’s. The University is developing more opportunities for international research collaboration as well as joint and double degrees with international partners. We look forward to discussing with you further ways to enhance our partnership.
María Veiga-Sánchez Head of International Partnerships Office
Dr. Judith Lamie Director of External Relations
Welcome It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our 2014 International Partners’ Conference. This is a particularly special conference as it is our first since we gained University Title in March 2013.
Indeed, last year was truly momentous for Regent’s. Not only, after many years of preparation, did we gain University title, but we also acquired American Intercontinental University London. This acquisition has enabled us to welcome new staff and students into the University community and also establish a new School of Fashion and Design. We re-launched Regent’s last summer at a fantastic event in our gardens that also marked 100 years of Higher Education being provided on our beautiful campus. It was wonderful to celebrate with alumni, colleagues and longstanding friends of the institution.
During this week’s Conference we will also be launching our new Regent’s Institute of Languages and Culture. Although language tuition is available to all, more than a third of our students must currently study a new foreign language interlaced in the subject material of their degree programmes. Under our new institute we will grow and develop provision in this area.
The coming year promises to be just as exciting and challenging. Both nationally and internationally the Higher Education landscape is developing and in many ways becoming increasingly competitive. However, I am confident that there will remain many opportunities for collaboration. These will be explored in this year’s Conference through its focus on Transnational Education. The sessions cover a broad range of subjects within this remit and I am delighted to see so many members of our alumni set to engage in the panel discussions.
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, travel information and a local area map to help you settle in.
Our Conference theme is particularly relevant as the UK Government moves to focus on education as a global export. Last year ministers published plans to expand the UK’s education exports industry. The strategy’s stated aims are to secure an extra £3 billion worth of contracts for the UK’s education providers overseas, and attract almost 90,000 more overseas University students per year by 2018.
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 University campus and understanding your thoughts on the future of global Higher Education.
At Regent’s we recognise the benefits of an internationally focused Higher Education. This isn’t just because of the financial benefits, but it’s because of the way it provides a more enriched experience for all our students and generates lifelong global networks. We expect Regent’s students to leave University with a more developed international perspective. This is what many employers seek and it also stands students in good stead to become tomorrow’s global leaders.
There are many other developments and I hope to be able to share some of these with you during the event.
We are pleased 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 10th January.
We are delighted that you can join us for the event and look forward to being your hosts over the coming days.
Professor Aldwyn Cooper CEO and Vice Chancellor, Regent’s University London
About Regent’s University London Regent’s Park, as we know it today, was designed in 1811 by John Nash, the favoured architect of the Prince Regent, later George IV. Surrounded by classical style terraces, Regent’s Park spans over 410 acres and includes a lake, canal and a number of villas.
The land became “royal” following Henry VIII’s dissolution of the monasteries. The royal connection is more gently remembered in Queen Mary’s gardens, which were developed in the centre of Regent’s Park in the 1930’s. More than 30,000 roses of 400 varieties can be found in these gardens. Regent’s Park is now home to London Zoo, the Royal Botanic Society and a number of other organisations and institutions. It is also the largest outdoor sports area in London. The Arrival of Higher Education The beginnings of Higher Education in London arrived in 1828, with the founding of University College in Gower Street. This was for men only, but in 1849 a “Ladies College” was founded by Mrs Elisabeth Reid and opened nearby in Bedford Square. It was always short of funds, but in 1908, thanks to a generous legacy, the College was able to take a Crown lease on South Villa in the Inner Circle, and so moved into Regent’s Park, taking the “Bedford” name with it. Local residents protested at the arrival of their new neighbours and questions were asked in Parliament about the impact of a college on the amenity of the Park. Nevertheless, academic buildings such as the present Tate Library and science laboratories were erected in the park. Science was at the core of the College’s very first programmes, together with the arts and humanities and teacher training. Bedford College The ladies at Bedford College were accommodated in Reid Hall, which still houses Regent’s students to this day. Back then facilities included coal fires and washstands with an ewer and basin. Sport was extremely popular amongst the young ladies, and a boating club was a natural development in the environment of the park. The “swinging sixties” saw the admission of male undergraduates in 1965, and the expansion of UK Higher Education in the 70s eventually led to a merger with Royal Holloway College and a move to the edge of a larger royal park, near Windsor. The dome of the Astronomical Observatory, opened by the Astronomer Royal, remains in place, despite extensive damage to most buildings in the Second World War.
Regent’s College In 1984 the Crown lease was taken by Rockford College, Illinois, which founded Regent’s College primarily to provide a “study abroad” programme, and provide courses with a clear British focus (Churchill and King Arthur were included). The first students arrived in 1985 and a steady flow from the USA has continued despite the pressures of world events (two students lost at Lockerbie are commemorated with trees in the gardens). Gradually, other institutions began to take up residence on the campus. The European Business School London moved here in 1987, widening the international focus with its emphasis on languages and internationalism and its programme of student exchange. The School of Psychotherapy and Counselling Psychology was established in 1990 maintaining the presence of the sciences. In 1994 the College agreed with Webster University in St Louis, Missouri to deliver its degrees through the Webster Graduate School and British American College London (now Regent’s American College London). Regent’s Business School London was established in 1997. The London School of Film, Media & Performance (now Regent’s School of Drama, Film & Media) was established in 2009 as part of the HASS faculty. Today, Regent’s is a multi-disciplinary campus community comprising of two Faculties. Regent’s University London In April 2013 Regent’s College met the criteria to become a University, having been awarded taught degree awarding powers in the Autumn of 2012. Also in April 2013 the Regent’s University London acquired American Intercontinental University London. The most recent development is the Regent’s School of Fashion & Design.

For General Health Enquiries
Paying for Your Travel An Oyster card is generally the cheapest way to make single journeys in London. 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.
Tel 020 7935 6328
Planning Your Journeys Transport for London (TfL) operates an extensive bus and underground network which is efficient and safe. 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. 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 the TfL website. 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 University late at night.
