Universitas 21 looks for a new partner

Universitas 21, a British company formed by 18 universities worldwide, is reported to be in negotiations with a major American corporation following the collapse of its partnership with Worldwide Learning, a company owned by TSL, publisher of The THES and part of News Corp.

The identity of the new partner has yet to be announced. A contract is expected to be signed by the end of January 2001.

Distance-learning courses should be available through the new partnership from July 2001.
