Nottingham Trent University is to become the latest UK higher education institution to open a London branch campus.
The outpost, billed as being “dedicated to delivering pioneering creative education aligned to the entertainment industries”, will be created out of an expansion of the Whitechapel base of the Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies. The institute, which also has a centre in Nottingham, was acquired by Nottingham Trent in 2015.
When the first intake of students arrive next September Nottingham Trent will join more than a dozen universities with a presence in the capital, many of which have sought to exploit London’s popularity with students, particularly the potentially lucrative applicants from overseas.
