Contract win: 15-year partnership with London Metropolitan University

 

Malvern International plc (AIM: MLVN), a global partner in learning and skills
development, announces that it has signed an exclusive 15-year partnership
with London Metropolitan University (LMU).  The partnership aims to rapidly
expand the international student body starting in September 2026, offering a
range of recruitment, education, and support services. The agreement includes
the option to terminate the contract every five years.

Operating out of LMU's international study centre based at the Holloway
campus, Malvern, will deliver undergraduate foundation and pre-master's
programmes, supporting international students to progress onto a variety of
undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

Under the Partnership, Malvern will provide international student recruitment
and conversion, admissions, student fee collection and course delivery,
including teaching, orientation and student support. A large portion of the
course fees will be collected by the Company in advance of course delivery
each academic year. As a result, the Partnership is expected to be cash flow
positive and profitable in its first full academic year to 30 September 2027.

The strategic partnership strengthens Malvern's position in the global
education marketplace, complementing its existing portfolio of university
partnerships. By leveraging its global infrastructure, Malvern is committed to
fostering sustainable growth in student enrolments and is confident it can
contribute significantly to LMU's international student body.

Based on the terms of the Partnership agreement, Malvern anticipates that the
University's proposition will be well-received by international students and
the Company's agent network.

Professor Gary Davies, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Student Recruitment and
Business Development) at London Metropolitan University said: 'This
long-term partnership with Malvern International reflects our shared
commitment to widening access to high-quality higher education and supporting
international students to succeed.  The International Study Centre will
play an important role in preparing students for study in London, while
reflecting our civic mission and values-led approach. We look forward to
welcoming the first cohort to our Holloway campus and to working closely with
Malvern International to support student progression and success.'

 

 

Richard Mace, CEO at Malvern, said: "We are proud to partner with London
Metropolitan University, which has been recognised as the top university in
the UK for student value added in 2025 and one of the top 20 UK universities
for student support - both areas which we seek to enhance further when it
comes to the international student body. In the last year, we have added four
new university partnerships to our portfolio, highlighting our dedication to
providing transformative opportunities for students."
