Kent International College

Description

The University intends to enter into a joint venture with Oxford International Education and Travel Limited (OIEG) to establish an embedded international college. The parties will jointly own/operate the college to deliver courses to international students, who will then have the opportunity to apply for courses at the University/alternative higher education institutions. OIEG will recruit students, administer admissions and provide teaching services. The University shall maintain overall control of the admission decisions/entry requirements and will apply to the UK visas and immigration department to add the college to its student sponsor's licence. OIEG shall incorporate a new company, Kent International College Limited (UIC) through which the college will be operated (with shareholdings as follows: OIEG 99%; and University 1%) and the management and control delegated to the University and OIEG. The JV will operate for a period of 10 years in addition to agreed extensions.
