Partnerships
We believe aligning universities’ international growth ambitions with social impact can create sustainable opportunities for refugees.
Universities are well-positioned to make a difference through existing and new international higher education partnerships, such as joint degrees, franchise partnerships, and online programmes more inclusive of and accessible to refugee students in major hosting countries.
A prime example is the UK-Ukraine Dual Degree Programme, managed by Cormack Consultancy Group (CCG) and Mosaik Education. 10 partnerships between UK and Ukrainian universities have created affordable, accessible pathways for students in a conflict zone. This model not only makes higher education more accessible for refugee communities, but it also reduces costs by eliminating the need to relocate students to the UK. The Ukraine model reduced per-student tuition costs by 63% compared to equivalent scholarships hosted on UK campuses.
This model also presents significant opportunities for UK universities. Through the UK-Ukraine Dual Degree Programme, universities have enhanced their international and domestic reputations, fulfilled their civic missions, forged new research connections, created development opportunities for academics, identified new international student markets, and generated new fundraising opportunities for future activities.
Closing the gap in higher education access for refugees is not just an altruistic endeavour; it’s an opportunity for universities to build partnerships that are impactful and sustainable.
Mosaik and CCG are collaborating to leverage our expertise in refugee education and TNE to e are replicating this model with refugees in other regions. If your university is interested in exploring how partnerships can help close the access gap for refugees, get in touch with us.
