2023 - so how did the British Council do? (See comments) - China reopens, but where have all the Chinese students gone? - From recruitment to selection - Hmmmmm we don’t think so … - Rising competition - they were on the money with this one - Multi-national applications, yes which reinforces rising competition - Economic slowdown will begin to bite, but a year on within #highereducation there is still no significant focus on, or investment in international #employability & supporting international graduates transition successfully to the workforce in their country of study or more importantly for the 80% globally that return home. So what’s in store for 2024? - Post-covid era, #internationalstudent numbers will decline for most English speaking markets in 2024, but the sector will not be convinced by the quality over quantity, argument when it comes to their balance sheets! Plus even though focused on East Asia no mention of the rise of #recruitment from South Asia (#india) & Africa (#nigeria) which has made up the lions share of growth, filling the “China gap” This fundamentally changes the characteristics of #studentrecruitment & support, as these markets are more likely to bring dependents, are more price sensitive, likely to fund their studies from loans & motivated by #poststudywork & a path to #immigration. This has lead to the tightening of migration policy, plus a bumper election year ahead - Tightening of #migration policy, in all major destination markets coinciding with elections, will cause a reduction in international mobility, #Canada having just imposed a cap & 35% reduction in international #studypermits has gone the furthest, we can only hope others including the UK don’t follow suit - The US awakens, but what about Trump??? - Fewer jobs in #China & more demanding students - Yes, we could have told you that in 2023. At least the report mentions Chinese students wanting increased #careers support both with reference to #poststudywork & even more importantly the fact universities need to support #Chinese students transition to successful jobs back home. This will be increasingly challenging due to rising youth unemployment in China, but there is no excuse not try, & extend thus support to all major source markets - #asean India Nigeria - Exchange rates discourage student exchange, exacerbated by higher interest rates on #studentloans, the #costoflivingcrisis & challenges finding part time #jobs during their #studies & securing highly paid #graduate level #employment opportunities post-study For the record, here are the Asia Careers Group SDN BHD’s trends to look out for in 2024: - Anti-immigration policies - Government regulation of #internationaleducation - Increased scrutiny of private/commercial education providers & agents - Growth in TNE, interesting new models of delivery - A pivot away from post-study work to supporting employment back in major source countries AGCAS BUILA Jisc UCAS UKCISA Universities UK
Our annual 5 TRENDS in International Education 2024 is out! This year’s Five Trends (East Asia) report highlights growing headwinds for international student recruitment in 2024. Driven by issues ranging from rising political pressure against migration to increasing costs of UK study in major sending markets, 2024 will likely mark the end of the post-Covid boom in international student mobility.

Interesting read from our Education Insights Hub for the East Asia and Pacific. While international enrolments have now exceeded pre-pandemic levels in this country and the UK, migration policy continues to be a hot topic, and we may soon see the end of this growth in mobility.

Interesting and fairly practical report from Edge Foundation on new higher education institutions in England. Reasons the report identifies for setting up new HEIs: ● lack of higher education opportunities in certain regions ● local employer needs and skills shortages ● market for HEI in large multicultural cities, esp. for international students ● deficiencies in existing university provision, esp re preparing students sufficiently for varied portfolio careers in a complex world. ● alternative to traditional HE approaches, leading to diversification of the HE sector. #newuniversities #challengeruniversities

One American university has capped its international student enrollment at 35 percent in the face of growing demand. Another university nearby struggles to maintain 4 percent international enrollment. What factors drive such differences? Read my report for the Chronicle of Higher Education on the new environment in international student recruitment that includes the results of a survey of American professionals in the field. https://lnkd.in/eBcRV-Es

An interesting drill down (by Jim Dickinson for Wonkhe) into the Graduate Outcomes results, showing that international PGT students are becoming more 'actively dissatisfied' with what they're learning in the UK in terms of how useful, meaningful and relevant this is to their future plans. This is an area for individual institutions to investigate, to learn more about (by listening to students) and to act upon.

Whilst most welcome, the most telling statistic from this QS Quacquarelli Symonds report is just 3% of #internationalstudents said their #university #careersservice helped them find a job!!! This is up from just 2% in the Universities UK International - International #graduateoutcomes 2019. Despite tireless lobbying from Asia Careers Group SDN BHD among others, universities have not significantly moved the dial in five years! Link to 2019 #uuki report: https://lnkd.in/e9yNvnBz This is due to woeful underfunded university #careersservices with no focus on supporting international students with the transition to successful careers back in their home countries & in no small part a total failure by HESA: Higher Education Statistics Agency to provide any meaningful Non-EU Graduate Outcomes & destinations data since 2019, to enable them to do so! This move has been disastrous for the sector, as this is the very data need to lobby government & avert what could be damaging policy in the form of a reduction &/or further punitive conditions imposed on the graduate route &/or international #studentrecruitment. We must ensure that more than 3% of #internationalstudents are supported to find jobs by their #university #careersservices. Asia Careers Group SDN BHD can support HE sector bodies & all universities in #australia & the #UK, support international students transition to the workforce on return to their home country. A sample of 1000 graduates per #university & country specific graduate destinations data. Interesting that Universities UK chose to commission such research when international graduate outcomes data already existed for over, which mirrors the UK international student population & could have been submitted yo MAC & government months ago! Let’s not wait another five years to make good on our promise to international students!

Key findings that resonate with us from Universities UK International's latest report, International Graduate Outcomes 2024 👇 - When asked what their university could do to improve, 53% of respondents cited 'support to find a job', followed closely by internships and experiential learning. While many international graduates report stronger career prospects post-study, there's a clear call for more career support and professional placements. - Graduates highlighted the lack of networking opportunities as something their institution could improve on. This limitation poses a significant barrier for students striving to develop essential skills for their future careers. In partnership with the University of Liverpool Management School and the University of Central Lancashire, we recently delivered our Pagoda Pitch Up event. We provided 25 students an opportunity to put their networking, communication and pitching skills to the test in front of industry professionals. Utilising their newfound confidence through networking, this resulted in: 11 offers of paid work 💷 3 offers of mentorship 🤝 6 offers of internships or mico placements 🎓 25 offers of part-time 3-month industry projects 💼 Watch key skills being developed in a recap of the day here: https://lnkd.in/eKJncg72
