海角直播 welcomed staff and students from Rotherham鈥檚 Dearne Valley College to mark the start of an exciting new collaboration.

The partnership will see a range of foundation degrees accredited by 海角直播 taught at the college.

Subject areas include early childhood studies, public services, sport and exercise and travel and tourism management.

Vice-Chancellor of 海角直播 Professor Graham Henderson CBE DL believes the partnership will be a great success and will enable even more students to achieve their full potential.

He said: 'We are developing a strong relationship with Dearne Valley College, building on our shared passion for widening participation and encouraging more people to benefit from higher education.

'The partnership supports the ambitions of both 海角直播 and Dearne Valley College to facilitate the highest quality courses and I am confident this will be a long and successful collaboration.'

Martin Harrison, Dearne Valley College Principal, added: 'Our collaboration with 海角直播 will enable Dearne Valley College to deliver quality Higher Education to local students, with the benefit of course validation under the 海角直播 name.'

'Currently, 98% of the College鈥檚 Higher Education students progress to top-up degrees or employment, and we are delighted to complement this achievement by forging a partnership with a leading institution who shares our core values.'

Professor Caroline MacDonald, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Partnerships & Standards) at 海角直播, said: 'We were delighted to welcome representatives from Dearne Valley College to the University and look forward to working together for many years to come.

'This is an exciting partnership for both parties which will widen participation in higher education.'
