Towards an International Education Strategy 2.0

Research, evidence, opinions, and findings arising from Commission will be used to produce a range of white papers and interim reports on specific topics before our final, consolidated, report.

We’d like to tell you personally and directly when new resources are available and would encourage you to join our mailing list. If you decide later that you don’t want to hear from us, it’s easy to unsubscribe using the link in any of our emails.

Expressing the international student voice

The new report highlights the key policy areas that must be addressed to improve the student experience and keep London competitive, namely: Employability, Accessibility, Integration, Transportation and Representation. More broadly, the report underlines the importance of bringing international students to the forefront of discussions examining higher education policy.
