The University of East London (UEL) is a public university in the London Borough of Newham, London, England, based at three campuses in Stratford and Docklands, following the opening of University Square Stratford in September 2013. The university's roots can be traced back to 1892. It gained university status in 1992. As at October 2015 it has more than 19,000 students from 120 countries, according to its website.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Top UK Universities – University of East London )〕 ==History== UEL can trace its roots back to 1892 when the newly formed County Borough of West Ham decided to establish a technical institute to serve the local community. The institute was to be a "people’s university" in the words of John Passmore Edwards, speaking at the building’s opening ceremony. The college provided courses in science, engineering and art and also established its own internal degree courses in science and engineering, which were ratified by the University of London. In addition, it had a Women's Department. As demand for technical education grew throughout the 1930s and 1940s, Essex County Council created two further colleges at Walthamstow and Dagenham.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our History - University of East London (UEL) )〕 In 1970, these three colleges〔 (West Ham, Walthamstow, Dagenham) were combined as a merger of higher education colleges to create the North East London Polytechnic. Campuses were modernised and revitalised by buildings such as the Arthur Edwards building on the Stratford campus, completed in 1982.〔 In 1988, the North East London Polytechnic became a higher education institution, renamed the Polytechnic of East London in 1989.〔 In 1992, the Polytechnic of East London became the University of East London, one of a number of "new universities", the UEL's history of founding institutions exemplify the developments that took place in British further and higher education policy throughout the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries.〔Frank Gould, 'Introduction', ''Degrees East: The Making of the University of East London 1892–1992'' (London: Athlone Press, 1995) vii〕 The University of East London consisted of the Barking Campus (closed 2006) and the Stratford Campus. In 1999 the Docklands Campus was opened, the first new university campus built in London for over 50 years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= The Newham Story: UEL Docklands ) from text provided to the publisher by UEL〕 In 2012, following previous opposition, UEL adopted the full increased tuition rates of £9,000 permitted by legislation enacted in 2010,〔〔Aisha Labi,"In London, a Working-Class University Wrestles With Change" ''The Chronicle of Higher Education'' 29 April 2012 ()〕 an increase from the previous rate of £3,290.〔Aisha Labi, "British Lawmakers Approve Sharp Increase in Tuition at English Universities" ''The Chronicle of Higher Education'' 9 December 2010. ()〕 The university is a lead academic sponsor of Hackney University Technical College which opened in 2012, one of the first university technical colleges in England. In April 2013 the university was granted armorial bearings by the College of Arms.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.college-of-arms.gov.uk/news-grants/newsletter/2012/item/94-december-2013 )〕 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 East London」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
