This Café will focus on UK institutions’ approaches to internationalisation for the current academic year, predictions for the year ahead and observations on key international education issues from the perspective of PVC-Is at UK universities.
The undergraduate international student recruitment ecosystem is crowded and complex, with many potential and overlapping pathways for overseas students to enter UK higher education. The diversity of channels can create confusion for students, looking to source trustworthy information, and uncertainty for institutions, seeking to invest limited resources.
This meeting-style, interactive IC Café will include breakout room discussions with attendees on pre-selected topics. Jamie will talk about UUKi’s recent work on international students, including the economic impact, #weareinternational and recent Government policy changes. Please note that the session will specifically be focused on the UK.
As U.K. Government International Education Champion and Prime Minister’s Special Representative to Saudi Arabia for Education, Professor Sir Steve Smith is in a unique position to discuss the topic of global engagement in higher education at this IC Cafe.
More and more universities are intent on increasing their international reputation and appeal – as they set out ambitions to generate greater levels of income beyond their own domestic (local/national) market and to position themselves as globally involved, connected and contributing institutions.
Coaching and Mentoring have shown to be invaluable for personal and professional development.
This IC Café is targeted to Heads, Directors, PVCs/VPs of International and Global Engagement, and professionals working for an institution.
