Institute announces 3 new Centres of Excellence
The Institute looks forward to working with Exeter, Nottingham and Newcastle by welcoming all their university learners on an accredited programme, to become Student members of the Institute during their studies; collaborating on areas of research, which are of interest to our members; and holding jointly branded events, which will provide opportunities to bring together academics and banking professionals to share knowledge and experience.
The Institute’s Centres of Excellence initiative was launched in late 2015. It provides a formal framework for collaboration with universities, enabling appropriate degrees (usually at masters level) to be recognised within our membership or qualification structure, and to be formally accredited by the Institute.
This now brings the number of confirmed Centres of Excellence to seven with several other academic institutions currently seeking approval from the Institute to become Centres of Excellence.
