ASU Launches ASU London: A New Era of Education
Students at the independent institution can earn two international degrees in as little as four years. The announcement of ASU London marks a significant milestone for Arizona State University as it expands its reach and impact in the field of higher education.
Innovative Educational Opportunities
ASU London has been established to create a U.K.-accredited higher education institution, enhancing the educational landscape in the UK. Building upon the earlier success of The Engineering & Design Institute London (TEDI-London), which ASU co-created, this new institution will offer project-based programs in engineering as well as introduce degrees in business management, computer science, and electrical and electronic engineering.
Dual Degree Advantage
Students enrolling in ASU London can take advantage of an impressive educational framework: a three-year U.K. bachelor's degree coupled with an accelerated one-year master's degree from Arizona State University. This innovative structure enables students to secure two international degrees within a short span of four years. This dual degree system saves time, reduces tuition costs, and provides a unique international experience across two esteemed education systems.
Fostering Global Problem Solvers
ASU President Michael Crow emphasizes the transformative impact of this initiative, stating that ASU London is designed to cultivate master problem-solvers capable of thriving in the dynamic global economy. By combining the benefits of British higher education with American innovative methodologies in applied learning, ASU London aspires to guide students toward success in one of the world’s most vibrant cities.
Partnerships and Professional Development
Known formally as the ASU London Centre for Advanced Learning, the programs offered by ASU London are developed in close collaboration with academics from both the U.S. and the U.K., as well as industry specialists. This ensures that the curriculum is rich in practical, real-world applications. Students will immerse themselves in the global culture of London and will be instructed by U.K.-based faculty who work alongside Arizona State faculty from the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering and the W. P. Carey School of Business.
Empowering Future Leaders
Professor Sir Malcolm Grant, chairman of the Board of Trustee Directors for ASU London, highlights the institution’s commitment to employability, noting that Arizona State University is well regarded among U.S. universities for graduate employment rates. ASU London is not just a place to learn; it is a setting where students can begin their professional journeys, tackling real projects while developing the technical and leadership skills that employers worldwide are seeking.
Learning Through Practical Engagement
ASU London promotes a hands-on learning model, reminiscent of the successful strategies incorporated at TEDI-London. Educational projects will revolve around essential themes like smart cities, sustainability, user-centered design, and innovative manufacturing practices. This approach ensures that graduates are well-equipped to meet the challenges of the modern workforce.
A Distinct Educational Institution
It is important to clarify that ASU London operates as an independent, U.K.-accredited higher educational establishment, differentiating it from traditional branch campuses or subsidiaries. Collaborating with Cintana Education allows ASU London to harness extensive educational resources, curricula, and faculty from diverse universities across the globe.
