Professor Amanda Broderick, vice-chancellor and president of UEL, said: "Knowledge alone is no longer enough in today’s rapidly shifting global economy. Launching UEL USA marks a transformative leap in our Vision 2028 strategy, extending our unapologetically careers-first model directly into Florida."
UEL USA has secured an institutional licence from the Florida Commission for Independent Education and will operate as a private, not-for-profit institution. Initial operations will be based in South Florida, including facilities at Fort Lauderdale’s Chase Stadium through UEL’s Global Institute of Sport.
A key partnership has been formed with Indian River State College to support students with two-year associate degrees in progressing to bachelor’s and master’s level study.
Dr Heather Belmont, provost at Indian River State College, said: "Our work with the University of East London USA is focused on making advanced and professional learning more accessible to the region. Together, the institutions can connect our community with international ideas while building the talent local employers need."
