The University of Bolton (formerly Bolton Institute of Higher Education or simply Bolton Institute) is a public university in Bolton, Greater Manchester, England. It has approximately 14,000 students across all sites and courses, with 700 academic and professional staff. Around 70% of its students come from Bolton and the North West region. In 2012 it was voted the worst in the country,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=University of Bolton is worst in country says guide )〕 and has hardly climbed the league tables ever since - it is currently ranked 121st out of 126, almost at the bottom.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Top UK University League Tables and Rankings 2016 )〕 ''The Times'' newspaper profile states: ‘The university sees itself as a regional institution, with around three quarters of the students coming from the North West, many through partner colleges.’〔 〕 ==History== Bolton Institute of Higher Education was formed in 1982 by the merger of the Bolton Institute of Technology (or simply Bolton Institute) and Bolton College of Education (Technical). Bolton Institute was awarded the right to award taught degrees in 1992, with the powers to award research degrees in 1995. In April 2004, the institute was awarded university status with immediate effect. The institution then set about searching for a new name to match its university status. A long consultation period considered many titles, including 'Bolton University', 'Bolton Institute University', 'West Pennines University', 'Bolton Metropolitan University' and 'Bolton Leverhulme University', before announcing 'University of Bolton' as the new title on 2 September 2004. The title was approved by the Privy Council on 27 January 2005 and officially adopted. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University of Bolton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
