The IC Global Café: Shifting International Student Trends in 2025

Shifting International Student Trends in 2025

This IC Café examines key developments in international education, including changes in demand markets and their potential implications. It will explore the need to be in the right place at the right time for your students and how shifts in communication methods over the past year affect engagement with students.

The session will discuss the need for more hand holding, which is felt by teams managing increasingly demanding student cohorts. The discussion will also cover factors influencing student decision making, such as the pace of admissions and ongoing financial uncertainties.

Date: Tuesday 21 January 2025

Time: 11am (UK time)
