Brief History
Located in southwest London, close to the River Thames, Kingston College provides students with a friendly and stimulating environment in which to gain qualifications. Some 3,500 full-time and 6,000 part-time students currently benefit from its professional approach to learning. Hardly surprising, therefore, is the rate of progression to higher education. Each year over 500 Kingston College students leave to become undergraduates at British Universities. In addition, over 1,600 students study at the College on Higher Education courses.
The origins of this success go back to 1899, when the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames built Science and Art Schools and a Technical Institute on the present main site of the College in Kingston Hall Road. The Victorian home of Kingston Technical College (as the institution was then known) survived till the 1960s, when major reconstruction work followed a local reorganisation of further and higher education.
In 1962 Kingston Technical College split into the present college of further education and a college of technology, now Kingston University. Because Kingston College and Kingston University have this common heritage, there remains a strong bond between them today which works to the benefit of students. Jointly run courses and close staff relations ensure that a ladder of educational opportunity is available for both full-time and part-time students from post-GCSE to first degree levels, and beyond. So, as to respond to growing student demand, Kingston College has over the past few years broadened the range of courses on offer to keep the curriculum abreast of new technology.

The modern University of Pécs was founded on 1 January
2000 through the merger of Janus Pannonius University, the Medical University
of Pécs and the Illyés Gyula Teacher Training College of Szekszárd. However,
its roots go back to 1367 when the Anjou king of Hungary, Louis the Great
established the first Hungarian university in Pécs. With its ten faculties
•Faculty of Adult Education and Human Resources Development,
•Faculty of Business and Economics, •Faculty of Health Sciences,
• Faculty of Humanities,
•Faculty of Law, Medical School, •Faculty of Music and Visual Arts, •Faculty
of Sciences, •Illyés Gyula Faculty of Education and Pollack Mihály •Faculty
of Engineering -
The University of Pécs plays a significant role in Hungarian
higher education. The University offers a broad range of training and
degree programmes, ensuring high-level knowledge-transfer and research.
With its more than 33,000 students and nearly 2,000 teaching and research
staff the impact of the University of Pécs extends well beyond the borders
of Pécs. In September 2006, a modern higher educational training system
initiated by the European Union was introduced in Hungary too, known as
the Bologna process, which offers students an opportunity to pursue their
studies in a dynamically developing, convertible European higher educational
system. The traditional college and university level training programmes
were replaced by a three-tier system consisting of a basic training programme
(BA, BSc), a master level programme (MA, MSc), and doctoral level (PhD,
DLA) programme. In order to meet the demands and the needs of the surrounding
community for continuing education, the University of Pécs has started
to develop its programmes within the area of life-long learning. In addition,
the University attaches great importance to training in the colleges for
advanced studies. Nearly every Faculty offers training in the framework
of this organisation that encourages students to pursue their own research.
Due to the credit system, first introduced in Hungary here in Pécs, an
increasing number of Hungarian students participate in international study
programmes as an integral part of their education, and likewise, an increasing
number of international students and researchers come to the University
of Pécs to study and conduct research every year. Therefore, the University
continuously works on expanding and improving its co-operation with other
universities and international research institutions and is already part
of a large network at different levels
