Trends in international student recruitment are in a constant state of flux due to shifting policies, evolving perceptions and changing market dynamics. This session will explore what lies ahead for global student flows to the UK - and how institutions can adapt.

Andrew will open with a summary of the current policy landscape including key developments across the ‘Big Four’ destination markets and the regulatory trends that are helping redefine the global international student sector. Rachel will then explore what these shifts mean on the ground - from what the changing student perceptions of the UK actually mean, to the growing importance of TNE and branch campuses or what changes in the Immigration White Paper around Basic Compliance Assessment levels might mean for which markets institutions continue to recruit from.

To close, we’ll reflect on what this all means for marketing and recruitment teams: How should they respond? What support do international teams need? And what does your CFO need to know as policy, perception, and financial pressures converge?

This session is ideal for professionals working in strategy, recruitment, partnerships and planning and will offer sharp, forward-looking insights into the future of international recruitment and tips on how to stay ahead of the curve.
