Throughout her four day visit to Sierra Leone, Professor Jenny Hamilton, Director of the Undergraduate Laws Programme, University of London International Programme will cover a range of issues including the teaching of the Undergraduate Laws Programme, which on successful completion results in a University of London degree being awarded.

It is hoped that the University of London’s 100+ suite of  study programmes, offered through the University of London International Programmes specialising  in distance and flexible learning, may  in the future be offered through teaching institutions in Sierra Leone

Professor Hamilton’s delegation will be meeting with His Excellency Dr Ernest Bai Koroma, President of the Republic of Sierra Leone, The Minister of Education Science and Technology, The Law School Director and The National Commission for Technical and Vocational Awards to discuss educational opportunities in Sierra Leone.

Professor Jonathan Kydd, Dean of the University of London International Programmes, said he is delighted to be exploring how we might contribute towards the highly successful social and economic development of Sierra Leone.

IMAT COLLEGE Director, Mr Amadu Justice Bah expressed the importance of receiving the delegation from the University of London International Programmes. He noted that on the one hand, as a host he felt privileged and felt that this is a milestone achievement in itself, whilst on the other hand, the visit will  open up  great opportunities  for thousands of Sierra Leonean students who wish to earn a degree that is internationally  recognised.

The University of London, a federation of 18 Colleges, is esteemed internationally for its tradition of academic excellence, integrity and innovation. The University maintains a robust quality assurance process for all its study programmes and was last audited by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) in 2011, and received the highest judgement of ‘confidence’ The University of London International Programmes draws on the expertise of the University’s Colleges and its examinations are set and marked by the same academics that assess College-based students. So, while students receive specially designed courses to suit their needs, they achieve exactly the same internationally recognised qualification as those who attend the University itself.
