¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Council confirms ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº/IOE merger decision

21 October 2014

¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Council has today (20 October) confirmed its decision that ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº should merge with the Institute of Education (IOE).

IOE and ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº to consult on proposed merger Ìý

Subject to legal agreements and final approval at the meeting of IOE Council on 25 November, the two universities will merge from 2 December 2014.

Having embarked on a strategic partnership in October 2012, the two institutions announced in February this year that they were to consult on a proposed merger. The IOE Council confirmed its support for merger at its meeting on 8 October.

Professor Michael Arthur, ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Provost, said: "Today's decision by ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Council marks another important step towards a merger that both our institutions believe will deliver significant advances in the field of social sciences and education.

"The combination of the IOE and ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº can be much more than the sum of their parts, and I believe that both of us will gain from working as a single institution, delivering new research collaborations, and curriculum developments, as well as extending our influence and reach."
