The Northern Consortium
The Northern Consortium is a charity founded in 1987 to facilitate access to British education for international students, the Northern Consortium was established by an alliance of universities from across the north of England. The group, keen to share their knowledge and experience, established one of the earliest examples of transnational education.
As a result, tens of thousands of students have benefitted from access to international education over the last thirty years. In 2003, the Northern Consortium, established its wholly-owned subsidiary, NCUK, to continue to create opportunities internationally that improve access to higher education for students globally.
