In 2007, the University of New South Wales campus in Singapore closed just a few months after its official opening. It was reported that some of its students had paid in full for the first year of a degree programme but could not commence or continue with their studies due to the sudden closure. Read the following articles and respond to the following question:

"University of New South Wales can assert that the contract with its students enrolled in its Singapore campus is discharged by agreement."

Article 1 -https://www.asiaone.com/News/Education/Story/A1Story20080716-77122.html(Links to an external site.)

Article 2-https://newsroom.unsw.edu.au/news/unsw-asia-close(Links to an external site.)

Do you agree with the above statement? Why or why not? What is another basis on which such a contract can be discharged? What remedy (or remedies) would the students likely be able to seek?

Support your discussion with reasons and relevant legal principles. You should cite cases, but there is no need to provide the facts of the cases in your answer.
