From its inception, almost two decades ago, Risepoint was intentionally designed to partner with regional public universities that focus on affordability and have high-value degree programmes that provide a strong return on investment, such as in nursing, teaching, technology, and business. In EMEA, we continue to build on this and our priority is to create accessible, engaging, high quality, career relevant learning experiences that deliver return on investment for a student.
