Westminster College of London becomes EURM
Close to 1,000 students and 20 professors of Westminster College in London became part of European University Republic of Macedonia (EURM).
EURM was the first private University in Macedonia, which has grown and expanded over the years. It is the first time, a Macedonian Private University opens a campus and expands beyond the Macedonian borders.
The cost of this purchase - expansion is not known, though EURM has been in negotiations with Westminster College close to three years. It wasn't the fee, rather the many laws, norms and regulations that needed to be followed so the EURM and Westminster College allign with Macedonian and British Laws.
"During our negotiatins, we had requested of Westminster College to follow all of EURM's teaching norms. Practically, today Westminster College doesn't exist. Instead, in London there is a European University of Republic of Macedonia," says Bojo Andreski, president of EURM.
EURM offers undegraduate, as well as graduate (masters and doctoral) studies. Currently there are three Faculties at EURM-London:
- The Faculty of Economic Sciences, which will bear the name "St Nicholas"
- The Faculty of Information & Technology which will bear the name "Alexander the Macedonian",
- The Faculty of Art & Design, which will bear the name "Phillip II"
"For the incoming year, we have had 2,500 applicants, however, the 1,200 sq. meters don't allow us to accept this many students, we are woking on plans to expand. EURM is also negotiating with Oxford University. I have been speaking to numerous individuals and professors at Oxford, I'd be extremely happy for EURM to expand and open a wing at Oxford University. Currently, Macedonian as well as British students can study in Skopje or London, it is essentially the same thing, they will get the same EURM diploma." concluded Mr. Andreski.
