What members of Universitas 21 are saying about U21Global


"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."

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

"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

"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."

"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 program 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 program offers convenience and flexibility, allowing students to complete their MBA study while balancing their work and family life."

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."

"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

"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
