University of Bolton - Eastern promise fulfilled

The first cohort of students has graduated from the University of Bolton's campus in the United Arab Emirates. The first graduation ceremony at the Ras al Khaimah campus was held on 19 February, with more than 50 undergraduates and postgraduates picking up degrees and certificates. Zubair Hanslot, academic director of the overseas campus, said: "The internationalisation agenda is providing global opportunities to many communities who otherwise would not be able to access UK education."
