New courses approved by Kuwaiti government

A new selection of Teesside University courses has recently been approved by Kuwait’s National Bureau for Academic Accreditation and Education Quality Assurance (NBAQ). This means that Kuwaiti students applying for these courses can study at Teesside with funding from their government.

The newly approved courses are in the fields of Art & Design, Business Studies, Civil Engineering, Communications & Media Studies, Computer Science, Education, English, History, Law, Nursing, Subjects Allied to Medicine, Physiotherapy, Psychology, Radiography, Social Work, Sociology and Sports Science at undergraduate level, and Allied Health Professions, Dentistry, Nursing and Pharmacy at postgraduate level.

Dr David Bell, Pro-Vice-Chancellor at Teesside University, commented “It is very good news that NBAQ has recognised the high quality of the courses offered by Teesside and has approved this extensive list of subject areas.”

“Our University has been welcoming Kuwaiti students for many years and our engineering courses have been particularly popular. We look forward to seeing even more Kuwaitis in our classrooms, across all schools”

The approval comes into effect from 1 April 2016. Students interested in applying for courses on the new list can find information on the website of the Kuwait Cultural Office for the UK (http://www.kcouk.org/) or on tees.ac.uk/international
