‘Widening participation for students across borders is something we are working hard to facilitate. Access to good quality education is a fundamental right Arden University aims to offer, regardless of where a student may be.
‘As a leading institution, with strong links to UNWTO, we look forward to working together with BVIS in providing a convenient and accessible progression for their international learners from across the world.’
