BOOKING FORMPROGRAMME

Overview: 

While long-term opportunities such as Transnational Education will play an important role for the UK higher education sector, the recruitment and retention of international students are fundamental to the success of a university’s international strategy. The key is how to integrate these two important approaches without losing sight of one or the other.

From the latest global trends to best practice in the UK, from the environmental factors impacting success to fresh approaches from countries leading the way, the second annual International Higher Education Forum speakers will deliver the expertise you need.

The Forum will also provide opportunities for knowledge-sharing and networking with other delegates, all at the convenient setting of the 1 Victoria Street Conference Centre in Westminster, central London.

Whether you are charged with delivery or oversight of your international strategy, the International Higher Education Forum will provide you with a toolkit of ideas to enable you to plan ahead for the next 12-18 months.

By the end of this conference delegates will:

• Be better able to lead or support the delivery of an international strategy
• Be aware of  the opportunities and sector-wide initiatives available to support their international activities
• Have a better understanding of current global trends and issues
• Understand best practice and tactics that can realise recruitment and retention; and be in a position to bench mark their institution.

This event will be of particular interest to: deputy and pro vice chancellors; directors of international offices, communications and marketing staff; university registrars and those leading on international student recruitment and support.

The event is being organised by Universities UK and the UK Higher Education International Unit in partnership withHobsons.
