This is an interesting development that will likely expand international opportunities.

"Northeastern University last week finalized a partnership with New College of the Humanities, a private college in central London, formalizing an agreement that will expand Northeastern’s global network of campuses and create new academic and research opportunities at both institutions.
Pending regulatory approvals, the partnership paves the way for Northeastern to become the first university in the United States with a college that can confer undergraduate and graduate degrees in the United Kingdom. The name of the college will be changed to NCH at Northeastern.
Just read this a bit earlier. My son loved his experience at NU In London and said he might like to go back for a Co-op. Maybe he could look into a regular semester as well. We’ll have to look into this more as it develops.
I recommend looking at the Wikipedia entry for “New College of the Humanities.” NCH is controversial. It didn’t even exist 10 years ago. It is a for-profit institution created out of whole cloth by a disgruntled former Birkbeck prof. It makes me think of University of Phoenix.
Is is telling that NEU isn’t partnering with one of many, many good UK institutions. Buyer beware for sure. Going to Uni in the UK even on full pay foreign student rates is cheaper than full fright at NEU, right? By a good amount.
@AshurbanipalV NCH was and is nothing like the University of Phoenix. NCH does not offer any online programs. it has received scorn from the British higher education establishment because it is doing things differently.

NCH will be the site of the NUin London program in 2021. How many years has NCH hosted NUIn? Would love to hear from students and parents about their experience with NUin at NCH. I understand NCH is moving its campus to a new location in SEPTEMBER “in central London’s St. Katherine’s Docks.” Thoughts on the new location? I wonder how the timing of the move will impact NUin students who arrive in August?

My son will be participating in NUin this fall, and this school raised some red flags for us (though, you are right, it is certainly not University of Phoenix). Only other option for him is UC Dublin, and I can’t say I was impressed by what I saw on their website, either. He will be staying in Boston.
