Trusted Status (HTS) with the United Kingdom Border Agency (UKBA). Further, this year, we have created additional support for students who need help with visa matters and strengthened our records management.

Regent’s biggest news of the last year is that in July, as forecasted at the conference in January, the Privy Council granted us our own taught degree awarding powers. We are only the sixth private institution in the UK to gain these powers and we support the largest number of degree seeking students. We have now made formal application and have provided all the necessary information to gain full University title. This would make us only the second, private, not for profit university in Britain and the first since 1983.

There are many other developments and I hope to be able to share some of these with you during the event.

This year’s conference will focus on some of the big developments in transnational Higher Education and we have a first class programme of speakers from partner institutions and opinion formers in the European and UK HE system.

Your Welcome Pack and Guide contains the Conference programme including a campus map, a list of Conference delegates and information on London such as a guidebook, local travel information and a local area map to help you settle in.

We are delighted to welcome you as our guest and you will find enclosed your ticket for Thursday evening’s activity as well as your invitation to the Conference reception and dinner on Friday 11th January.

Many of you are old friends and we look forward to renewing our acquaintance. Some of you will not have visited us before and we look forward to sharing with you the College campus and understanding your thoughts on the future of global Higher Education.

It should be a first class few days and I hope that you will find it both informative and enjoyable.

With best wishes, Aldwyn Cooper Principal and CEO 5
