Partners
We work together with a number of global academic partners to widen access to higher education and enhance the learning experience that our students receive. The processes that underpin these activities have been designed against the Quality code for Higher Education.
The University of Northampton’s (UON) Academic Partnerships Office (APO) oversees the development and operation of academic partnerships with a number of local, national and global higher education (HE) partners. UON seeks to ensure that the high-quality teaching and learning experience that students receive on campus is comparable to that available at our collaborative partners.
As the only university in the county, UON seeks to maintain strong relationships with the providers of HE in Northamptonshire, neighbouring counties and London, including FE colleges, hospitals and private providers. Within Europe the APO has established collaborative partnerships in countries including Finland, Greece, Poland, Spain, Netherlands and Ireland. This collaborative work also has a worldwide reach and the APO has developed successful partnerships in China, Hong Kong, Nepal, Mauritius, Myanmar, New Zealand, Pakistan, Singapore, and Sri Lanka.
APO staff work closely with staff in partner institutions to ensure the smooth running and scheduling of programmes, including staff visits for teaching and training.
