1 Hot Topics Dr Janet Ilieva International Education Intelligence Unit Setting the context Worst economic crisis since WWII and lack of funds posing internal and external barriers to internationalisation Related to the above lack of resources impact on the international competitiveness of education institutions Changes in the visa system UK student visas more transparent and much harder (additional security and biometrics requirements) Even greater need to internationalise the campus both in terms of students, researchers and academics. 1

2 Internationalising Education in UK Under PMI (Prime Minister s Initiative) student recruitment was the key element of the strategy; Under PMI 2, they key areas were: Marketing and recruitment Student experience Strategic Alliances and Partnerships (PMI2 Connect) Project activities under PMI2 Connect?

7 Estimated number of Nigerian tertiary level students in UK, '000s Baseline EIU forecast Optimistic scenario Pessimistic scenario Nigerian students studying in the UK (undergraduate and postgraduate), 000s Keeping up with the markets So far, some of the major early indicators determining the future demand from overseas include: Stable ratio between the students opting to study overseas and the students studying at home (i.e. leakage rate) Dynamics of people s income (for the population above the take-off threshold, different levels for different countries: e.g. US$15,000 in China, US$25,000 in India and Nigeria); income as a function of the GDP growth Relative tuition fees levels (UK vs. the competitor set) Exchange rate movements of GBP against the competitor set (determined by key destination countries for country s students) Fluctuations in the volumes of trade between UK and the respective country 7

8 Future Priorities for the UK Addressing dis-balances in student mobility Increase in the engagement: student/academic level; institutional level; government level British Council s International Higher Education Strategy: Global Policy Dialogue Global University Partnerships: University to University Sector to sector Academic community collaboration Global Mobility and Experience facilitating and supporting inward and outward international mobility and experience for students, academics and researchers Global Market Intelligence Balance between inward and outbound students No of students 000 s 2007 Ranking United States China United Kingdom France Germany Australia Japan India Korea Canada Students sent Students received The top ten ranked countries sent 945,000 students abroad and received 1,950,000 international students in This equates to 2.2 students received for every one student sent abroad China has been catching up with the US over the period The UK growth driven by inward students India growth driven by outbound students Very little change in composition of rankings 8
