A new Catholic university backed by philosophers Roger Scruton and Anthony O’Hear is to open in London.

Benedictus aims to open in central London next year, offering honours degrees and charging £12,000 a year. Students will spend the first term on a grand tour of Italy and will learn the canon of Western thought during their time at the university.

It will be the fourth Catholic university in England, alongside St Mary’s Twickenham, Leeds Trinity and Newman University in Birmingham.
