New five-year Partnership - University of Wolverhampton

 

Malvern International plc (AIM: MLVN), the global learning and skills
development partner, announces the Company has signed a five-year Partnership
with The University of Wolverhampton to open a new International Study Centre
from September 2025 together with providing a range of international student
recruitment, education and support services.

The University of Wolverhampton International Study Centre (UWISC), to be
based at the University's City Campus, will deliver a full range of pathway
and pre-master's programmes, supporting international students to progress
onto a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate courses at the University.

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 ahead of the course delivery each academic year.
As a result, the Partnership will be cash flow positive from the first year
and is expected to contribute to group profits from FY2026.

The Partnership further strengthens Malvern's portfolio of university
partnerships, joining its highly successful University of East London centre,
which has fast become one of the UK's largest pathway centres, recognised for
its quality of education, support and student outcomes. By leveraging its
global infrastructure, Malvern is committed to fostering steady, sustainable
growth in student enrolments at UWISC and is confident it will significantly
contribute to expanding the University of Wolverhampton's international
presence.

Based on the terms of the agreement, Malvern anticipates that the University's
proposition will be well received by international students and our agent
network, and expects to be able to scale student numbers quickly to reach 400+
students annually within five years.

Reflecting on the partnership, Dr David Atkinson, Associate Dean Recruitment
& Partnerships at the University of Wolverhampton, said: "This new
partnership is a positive step forward and the launch of the centre will
enhance Wolverhampton's global reach and leverage Malvern's extensive agent
network and global footprint, contributing to the diversity of our student
population.

"UWISC will be a centre of academic support expertise allowing students to
follow their career ambitions - thus aligning with our University of
Opportunity stance."

Richard Mace, CEO at Malvern International, said: "This is an exciting
milestone and a substantial win for Malvern as we continue to expand our
Pathways division, gaining recognition within the sector for delivering high
quality services that benefit universities and students alike. We are proud to
partner with the University of Wolverhampton, renowned for its innovative
teaching and excellent graduate outcomes. Together, we are committed to
creating transformative opportunities for students while enhancing the
University's global reach and impact."
