The IC Café: Spotlight on the UK: A Conversation with Jamie Arrowsmith, Director of Universities UK International (UUKi)

At this IC Café, we will have a conversation with Jamie Arrowsmith, Director of Universities UK International (UUKi) and ask him to share observations and reflections on recent policy and strategy announcements such as the UK Government’s new International Education Strategy and the UK’s return to Erasmus+. We will explore what these developments and others mean for UK institutions in relation to their international student recruitment and global engagement activities, and positioning. We will also learn more about how UUKi is working to promote and support the UK sector.

If you are a UK university, join us to hear the latest updates. If you are an international institution or organisation looking to work with UK institutions, don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about the UK sector and its priorities.
