Episode 17: Tri-Nation Seaside Study at As Yet Untitled U

 My guest on this episode of My Imaginary University is Alistair Jarvis, Pro-Vice-Chancellor Partnerships and Governance at the University of London.

Generously supported by a billionaire philanthropist, Alistair's university is based on three campuses on estates by the sea on the south coast of England, Dubai and Nigeria. The three campuses are equal in every way and every student is mobile, studies other languages and all fees are paid. 

The university's campuses really are a special feature: they all have nice beaches and are open, integrated into their communities and offer great food as well as work and 'compulsory volunteering' opportunities.

In educating future socially conscious global leaders the university has a strong access mission, recruits world-wide on the basis of potential and has also just decided to launch into the online realm. However, it remains without a name or an anthem so is running competitions to come up with suggestions for both. Let's hope they are sensible ideas.
