## Description
Manchester Metropolitan University wishes to enter into a collaboration to establish an Embedded International Study Centre ("EISC") on campus to deliver educational study programmes to international students to equip them with the skills/qualifications required to enrol on an undergraduate or postgraduate course at Manchester Met.  This presents an exciting opportunity for a suitably experienced and innovative partner to enter into a joint venture ("JV") with Manchester Met to realise its ambitions for the EISC. At this point in the process, Manchester Met wishes to remain agnostic in respect of the form which the JV will take (e.g. contractual/incorporated), and is therefore interested to hear bidders’ proposals on this aspect later in the process.  The JV Partner will be responsible for the operational running of the EISC, delivering programmes, promoting the EISC, recruitment of international students, administration of admissions and provide teaching services within the EISC.
