International Scholarships at New College of the Humanities, London
The New College of the Humanities, UK offers a number of prestigious scholarships to students who demonstrate exceptional academic achievement and potential.
The applicants selected will be awarded £500 after the Reading Week of their first term of study for the first year of investigation by the New College of the Humanities.
From September 2012 to September 2015, the new college of the humanities offered tuition in economics, English, history, law and philosophy and politics and international relations for undergraduate degrees with the University of London International Programme. From 2015 it ran its own degree programmes, validated by Southampton Solent University. Its “Diploma of New College of the Humanities” is earned alongside the various combined BA and BSc degrees by completion of courses in applied ethics, critical reasoning, science literacy and LAUNCH, its professional development programme.
The college’s founding attracted a substantial response in the UK, where most higher education institutions are publicly funded, and a significant amount of adverse publicity. London’s mayor, Boris Johnson, welcomed it as a bold experiment, while The Times argued that higher education has been a closed shop in the UK for too long. There was an angry reaction from sections of the academic community. Complaints included that NCH had copied the course descriptions of the University of London’s international programmes on its website; was offering the same syllabus with a significantly higher price tag; and that the senior academics involved with the project would in fact do very little of the teaching. Academics were also opposed to the college’s for-profit structure and high tuition fees.
In 2016 NCH announced that it would be offering its first postgraduate qualification from that September, an MA in historical research and public history validated by Swansea University. In 2017 the college launched three additional master’s degrees, the MA Economic Policy & Communication, MSc Global Politics, and MA Philosophy.
In February 2020, NCH was awarded renewable taught degree awarding powers for an initial period of six years. In August 2020 these became indefinite after NCH was registered by the Office for Students as a publicly-funded higher education provider. Following the award of indefinite degree awarding powers, NCH announced in 2021 that it would seek university status and permission to use the name Northeastern University London.
