Course Outline

This session is for marketing staff in both schools and universities. There are over 25,000 international students in UK schools whose aim is to go on into UK universities. How can UKI staff in universities tap into this source of well-qualified and integrated students? And how can schools’ marketing staff use the long-term aims of international students and their parents to influence their choice of school? Our session will look at how, by working together, marketing staff in UK universities and boarding schools (both in the UK and globally) can enhance the quantity and quality of their international admissions. We will look at how much the two sectors have in common and hope to start some mutually useful relationships.

Learning outcomes:

Enhancement of the quantity and quality of international admissions in UK schools and universities.
