Collaborative Provision
The University of Cumbria engages in a range of academic collaborative provision activities.
The University of Cumbria aims to provide and promote excellent and accessible higher education which enhances the lives of individuals and fosters the development of the communities to which we belong. In its collaborative provision the university embraces four guiding themes: sustainability; creativity; employability and enterprise.
Background
We are a Widening Participation university, encouraging and facilitating the progression of non-traditional students to University. Our collaborations provide a range of opportunities for students whatever their age, background and earlier experience. These partnerships ensure provision is available in Cumbria’s widely distributed communities and offers progression opportunities into Higher Education from FE and vocational routes.
Developing collaborations which closely match the ethos and principles of the University is vital and the University continues to build strong partnerships regionally, nationally and internationally.
The University’s Strategy for Working with Partners
The University's academic collaborative provision activity is underpinned by the 'Strategy for the Delivery of Academic Collaborative Provision 2013-2018'. This enables the University to develop its collaborative provision in a way that is purposeful in supporting the University to meet its Mission and Strategic aims. A full version of the Strategy for the Delivery of Academic Collaborative Provision is available to download.
