The Times, 02/12/2013, p.45, Greg Hurst
The London School of Economics has borrowed £125 million from investors to redevelop its campus, following a fashion for universities tapping capital markets to fund their expansion.

The Sunday Times, 01/12/2013, p.9, Simon Duke
Earlier this year in Britain, the government launched FutureLearn — which will see 21 UK universities offer free online courses.
