The story about modern education on Serbia's territory started in 2005 when the Faculty of Information Technology was founded. The development was gradual but steady, and in time our role in higher education in Serbia has grown stronger. In 2010 the newly founded Faculty of Management and Faculty of Digital Arts joined the Faculty of Information Technology, and the three faculties formed Metropolitan University. By carefully following the trends of the modern labor market, we have recognized its needs and started to provide quality education to our students in various areas of information technology. It is little known that last year more than a billion people around the world studied online. The classrooms of the future follow us everywhere we go, as we are only a click away from "walking" into the classroom from anywhere we like. Metropolitan University is the first University to oer studying through the eLearning system in Serbia. This mode of studying covers all four years of studies. The degrees which online students obtain are entirely equal to the ones earned in the traditional studies, both in terms of earned qualifications and the quality of gained knowledge. The mission of Belgrade Metropolitan University is to contribute to Serbia's educational, cultural, economic, and social progress by providing advanced bachelor and master academic studies in the area of information technologies, arts, and management, as well as continuous professional education. Belgrade Metropolitan University provides students with an introduction to modern technical concepts and practice in several scientific and artistic areas: Information technologies, Information systems, Software engineering, Computer Games, Engineering and Operations Management, Business and Marketing Management, Management in Sports, Graphic design, Interactive media design, and Fashion design. Students are educated to identify and evaluate modern and upcoming technologies to determine their applicability in problem-solving for users, as well as analyze the impact of technologies on individuals, organizations, and society, including ethical, legal, and political aspects. It is necessary to demonstrate comprehension of best practices and standards, their application, demonstration of independent and critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. One of the main objectives of education of this type is the development of abilities for teamwork for fulfillment the common objective by integrating personal initiative ad group cooperation, development of abilities of effective communication and efficiency in work with clients, users and colleagues, both verbal as well as textual, by using adequate terminology, as well as comprehension of the need for continuous education during the career. Belgrade Metropolitan University is unique by the methodologies it applies, since other than the ability for teamwork, creativity, and individuality in work is further developed. The University develops the skills for innovative thinking, a new approach to problems, the ability to integrate and implement the latest technologies and investigative spirit. Leadership qualities and high professional and ethical standards are what we ask of our students. We introduced four years of long bachelor academic studies and one-year-long master studies. We introduced new attractive study programs: SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, These new programs, and the existing programs in the field of computing – INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES, are in line with the newest recommendations of the American professional associations IEEE, ACM, and AIS. Furthermore, other study programs are significantly improved and updated. We started applying a new eLearning system – LAMS, which applies the most modern technology in eLearning. We prepared new curricula which the system offers to our students, We acquired the newest computer equipment (a big IBM server), and we have significantly accelerated our internet connection which should provide social work of our students, In simplest terms, we offer more and better, in much better conditions. Belgrade Metropolitan University continues its mission to provide top-quality education since we believe that it is the only way to provide the passage to quality and highly paid work position. The point is not in studying per se, nor in gaining a university degree only. The most important thing is to study the right thing, at the right place, with the right method – to get a real job.

On our Headingley Campus, The Grange was originally a monastic farm that belonged to Kirkstall Abbey. New Grange was rebuilt in 1626 by Benjamin Wade. Palladian architect James Paine primarily designs the present Building for Walter Wade in 1752. In the nineteenth century, the Beckett family renamed the estate Kirkstall Grange and remodeled parts of the Mansion. The Leeds Mechanics Institute was founded in 1824, located in two rooms, a library, and classroom, in premises on Park Row. In 1841 the Institute moved to South Parade. Leeds College of Art moved from its Vernon Street site to Woodhouse Lane to form part of Leeds Central Colleges (the forerunner of Leeds Polytechnic) in 1969. Its origins lie in the Leeds Government School of Design, established in 1846, part of the Leeds Mechanics' Institute and Literary Society. Subsequently, the School of Design became the Leeds School of Art in 1856. In 1927 the School was granted college status and became Leeds College of Art. The Leeds School of Science was formed as part of the Leeds Mechanics' Institute and Literary Society in 1868. However, the Sciences, particularly Chemistry, had been taught at the Institute since the very beginning, the first classes taking place in 1825. The School was renamed Leeds Technical School in 1896 and Leeds Technical College in 1927. They were finally becoming Leeds College of Technology in 1937. The College was the first to move to the new Central Colleges site (later Leeds Polytechnic) in 1956. The Leeds Mechanics Institute amalgamated with the Leeds Literary Society in 1842. New premises were opened on Cookridge Street in 1868, in a building designed by architect Cuthbert Brodrick. The new building allowed for the expansion of the Institute Library, Leeds School of Art, and Leeds School of Science. The Yorkshire School of Cookery in Leeds was formed in 1874 by the Ladies' Honourary Council of the Yorkshire Board of Education. Later names were Yorkshire Training School of Cookery (1877-1884) and Yorkshire Training School of Cookery and Domestic Economy (1884-1920). In 1920 the School gained college status and became the Yorkshire Training College of Housecraft, a name it retained until 1965. Between then and 1970, it was known as the Yorkshire College of Education and Home Economics. In 1897 members of the Institute adopted a new name, The Leeds Institute of Science, Art, and Literature, to better reflect its educational activities. A Library and Reading Room, Leeds School of Art, Leeds Technical College, Leeds Boys' Modern School, and Leeds Girls' Modern School. The next year the Leeds School of Music and Commercial Evening School departments were established. There is evidence of financial education before 1898. However, that year marked the incorporation of Commercial Evening Classes into the Leeds Institute of Science, Art, and Literature. In the first quarter of the twentieth century, commercial education courses were gradually grouped into the Leeds Central School of Commerce. In 1924 Day Courses were established, and in 1926 the School was granted college status and became the Leeds College of Commerce. The transfer of the privately funded schools of the Leeds Institute of Science, Art, and Literature to Leeds Corporation began in 1906. This was in the wake of the 1902 Education Act, which created the Leeds Education Authority, taking over and expanding the role of the former School Board. The City of Leeds Training College was formed in 1907 in temporary accommodation throughout the city. A permanent college was established in the grounds of Kirkstall Grange sold to Leeds Education Authority by Lord Grimthorpe. The new college buildings were opened on 13 June 1913 by the President of the Board of Education, J. A. Pearce M.P. The Carnegie College of Physical Training was opened in 1933 alongside the City of Leeds Training College. Its first warden was Ernest Major, who created the foundation for its reputation for excellence in sports teaching. In 1947 it was renamed Carnegie College of Physical Education, dropping 'Training' for the more academically focussed 'Education.' The Leeds Colleges of Art, Commerce, Technology, and the Yorkshire College of Education and Home Economics were gradually brought together on the north of the Civic Hall. The first College on-site was Leeds College of Technology with Mechanical Engineering, and Building opened by Clement Atlee in 1956. Over the next decade, the rest of the Technology, most Commerce, Housecraft, and Art, were accommodated on site. In 1964 the City of Leeds Training College changed its name to the City of Leeds College of Education in response to the Robbins Report (1963). Its neighbor at Beckett Park was the Carnegie College of Physical Education. There was much overlap in the Colleges' administration and physical spaces, and in 1968 they formally merged to create the City of Leeds and Carnegie College. In 1966 the White Paper "A Plan for Polytechnics and Other Colleges" began the process of Polytechnic creation, with Leeds at a great advantage having worked on the concept of a central college for around 40 years. The Leeds Central Colleges had already established much of the administrative and campus infrastructure. In 1970 Leeds Polytechnic came into being; its first Director was Patrick Nuttgens.

The University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) was formed on 18 November 2010 through the University of Wales Lampeter and Trinity University College Carmarthen merger, under Lampeter's Royal Charter of 1828. On 1 August 2013, Swansea Metropolitan University became part of UWTSD. The University's Royal Charter is the oldest in Wales and England after Oxford and Cambridge's universities. In 2011 HRH the Prince of Wales became its Royal Patron. The UWTSD Group includes Coleg Sir Gâr and Coleg Ceredigion as part of a dual sector group structure comprising further education colleges and universities. The UWTSD Group has over 25,000 learners across 17 campuses in rural and city locations. Together we deliver clear, tangible benefits for learners, employers, industry, and communities by offering a vocational approach from entry to post-doctoral research. The Group will be further strengthened with the University of Wales merger into UWTSD in due course. The University's main campuses are situated in various locations in and around Swansea's city center and in the rural towns of Lampeter and Carmarthen in South West Wales. The Wales International Academy of Voice, under the Directorship of Dennis O'Neill with Dame Kiri Te Kanawa as its patron, is located in Cardiff. Also, the University has a Business School in London for international students. UWTSD has a clear and exciting strategic plan which emphasizes applied learning, strong academic disciplines, and a clear commitment to innovation, enterprise, and knowledge transfer. This connected university is driving through structural and strategic change, closely associated with the industry, business, and enterprise. The University has a clear national profile – delivering for Wales and celebrating its distinctiveness on the UK and international stage. The learner experience is at the heart of our mission. We have placed sustainability at the core of our planning. Developed through our award-winning Institute of Sustainable Practice, Innovation, and Resource Effectiveness (INSPIRE), we have embedded sustainable development through our learning, teaching, curricula, campus, community, and culture. We aim to inspire individuals and develop reflective graduates and practitioners who can make a difference in society. Through work-based learning, research of international excellence, and knowledge transfer networks, we aim to play a pivotal role in promoting social justice, economic renewal, and social and cultural capital. The University of Wales Trinity Saint David has an ambitious mission. The University's Royal Charter is the oldest of any university in Wales and England after the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Our Lampeter campus was founded in 1822 and received its Royal Charter from King George IV in 1828. The Carmarthen campus was the first center for teacher training in Wales, established in 1848, and we can also claim one of the first art schools in the UK, established in Swansea in 1853. I am delighted that His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, is our Royal Patron. We take great pride in our history and our connection to it, mainly how it has provided us with the determination and confidence to shape our future. Today, the University of Wales Trinity Saint David is a dynamic and ambitious institution with campuses across three counties in West Wales and the Wales International Academy of Voice in Cardiff and campuses in London for our international students. Our transformational journey continues with the inclusion of Coleg Sir Gâr and Coleg Ceredigion as constituent colleges within the UWTSD Group. We are creating a new education system providing progression routes from entry-level to doctoral studies within the region. We aim to develop reflective graduates and practitioners who can make a difference in society. We are committed to sustainable development and the environment as one of our underpinning values. It is a theme that is woven into the student experience enabling the UWTSD graduate to develop the right knowledge, skills, and attributes to take their place wherever they may be in the future. Universities must also be powerhouses for economic change. This is why UWTSD is focused on enterprise and innovation, enabling our staff and students to transform ideas into real opportunities and solutions for business. I am proud of our track-record for applied research, and our international work in the areas of Applied Design and Engineering are critical areas of development for the University. The University has submitted a sample of 160 publications from 49 members with internationally and globally leading research to the Research Excellence Framework 2014. These are in Art and Design, Celtic Studies (joint submission with the Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies at the University of Wales), Classics General Engineering Geography, Environmental Studies and Archaeology, and Theology and Religious Studies. The role of universities to foster civic pride is significant as they provide and support cultural, social, and economic activity by their very existence. The University of Wales Trinity Saint David has an impressive pedigree as a community and civic institution. Our campuses in Carmarthen, Lampeter, and Swansea have enabled us to foster excellent links within the community so that the University, its resources, and services are celebrated as regional assets. Our Cardiff activities, based around the Wales International Academy of Voice, and our campus in London continue these excellent traditions. We aim to create social and cultural hubs where events, activities, and facilities draw the public, business, and organizations into the University environment. I am delighted to note that the Welsh Government has approved the University's request to purchase nine land plots in the SA1 region of Swansea. This is an exciting development for the University and will enable us to realize our vision for a new city university campus, bringing together and celebrating the excellent work that has been developed over the years by Swansea Metropolitan as it looks to its future within the University of Wales Trinity Saint David brand. This prime waterfront location in the heart of the city will transform the educational experience for staff and students. It will enable us to provide a vibrant city experience, connecting our academic work with innovation, enterprise, businesses, and the community. The University of Wales Trinity Saint David System will transform higher education and training in Wales. Central to this new model will be establishing a new sustainable planning framework that will encompass, nurture, stimulate, and promote the development of coherent educational pathways across a wide range of institutions.

The Metropolitan State University of Denver has transformed the lives of more than 90,000 people in Denver and Colorado through affordable degree programs, innovative public-private partnerships, and a commitment to diversity. That is why MSU Denver now stands not only as a preeminent public urban university but also as a bastion of the American dream. At the Metropolitan State University of Denver, we believe that every student should have an opportunity to better their life. And we know that higher education is the critical factor in upward economic and social mobility. That is why we offer the highest-quality education at the lowest tuition rate in Colorado. Our students come from every background and experience. We have veterans looking to re-establish themselves in the workforce, first-generation college students trying to do a little better than their parents, and plenty of people who want to change directions in their careers. They may have taken a zig-zagging path to get to college, but they find their way here and leave as Roadrunners. We graduate Fulbright scholars, award-winning novelists, noted academics, pioneering scientists, and many others at the top of their fields. And that is further proof of why we need to give every student a fair shot, why we do not define ourselves by whom we exclude, but by whom we include. Because every student has the potential to be something or someone more generous, to move up the social and economic ladder, in short, to achieve the American dream, we hope you will join us as we work to become the model urban University for opportunity, diversity, excellence, and transformation. In the early days of the University, students dubbed themselves “Roadrunners” because they sprinted across downtown Denver’s busy streets to get to classes. In 1974, students named the Roadrunner the University’s mascot. But over the years, the MSU Denver Roadrunner has come to signify more, including the fighting spirit shared by every graduate of the University. MSU Denver’s commitment to the metropolitan Denver community is evidenced by our off-campus exhibition space, public-private partnerships, and a wide array of workforce-ready internships. These opportunities build academic and professional qualifications while offering industries trained workers with up-to-the-minute skills. The Center for Visual Art (CVA), located in the Art District on Santa Fe, is the off-campus exhibition space of Metropolitan State University of Denver. In addition to showing significant contemporary art worldwide, the award-winning CVA is a division of the MSU Denver Department of Art, which is dedicated to providing an unparalleled urban learning environment and a strong sense of community within the local art scene. The Hotel and Hospitality Learning Center (HLC) is a distinct combination of a higher education classroom building, a teaching laboratory, a commercial hotel — SpringHill Suites by Marriott — and a conference space. Students from MSU Denver, along with full-time professionals with Sage Hospitality serving as mentors, work together to provide a truly unique learning environment and a successful revenue-generating venture for the University. The Detroit Institute of Music Education (DIME) and MSU Denver through DIME Denver offers accredited bachelor’s degrees in commercial music performance, commercial songwriting, and music industry studies. This exclusive educational partnership is grounded in both music and liberal arts studies, allowing aspiring musicians to pursue music careers while simultaneously working towards their bachelor degrees.

Aerospace and Engineering Sciences brings together civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering technology, computer information systems, and computer sciences in a new $60 million facility opened in June 2017. It includes Colorado’s only Advanced Manufacturing Sciences Institute. Funding came from the state Capital Development Fund, University construction dollars, and private donations. The new building will house York Space Systems, Hartwig, Inc., and EyesSat LLC, all of which will collaborate with faculty and students. Quality academics play the most significant role in your college education. However, you can learn so much more from the entire college experience – especially one that’s infused by a proper urban learning environment where connections and influence go way beyond the edge of campus.

Born out of the idealism and turbulence of the 1960s, Metropolitan College of New York (MCNY) was founded by Audrey Cohen, an innovative educator. She believed the key to a truly effective education lay in uniting the classroom with the professional world. Audrey Cohen launched the Women'sWomen'sWomen's Talent Corps in 1964, addressing a need for both jobs and training. The program prepared motivated women, with experience in their low-income neighborhoods, for jobs to assist their communities. Simultaneously, the Women'sWomen'sWomen's Talent Corps worked to create a new level of " paraprofessional" positions in organizations and agencies: teacher's teacher's assistant, guidance counselor assistant, paralegal. The 30-week training program included an eight-week classroom orientation, ten weeks on-the-job training in a school or community agency, and 12 weeks of intensive work at the same organization. Those agencies then hired students. The one-year training program paid students $2 per hour to participate. Today, the college has graduate and undergraduate programs across three schools: the Audrey Cohen School for Human Services and Education, the School for Business, and the School for Public Affairs and Administration.
