We continue to monitor the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. We are supporting our members in their response, lobbying government on immigration questions and helping to coordinate support for Ukrainian universities from across the sector.
We are jointly commissioning a project with UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the Wellcome Trust to bring stakeholders from the research and innovation community together to reflect on the impact of concordats and agreements.
The historic data of the UK’s higher education sector paints a vivid picture of stability, growth, and even enduring appeal. More recent HESA data illustrates robust demand, a huge milestone for the sector and a cause for celebration with the UK surpassing its target of 600,000 international students a decade early. However, on closer inspection this may simply be creating a false environment that not only offers a limited perspective of our educational landscape but also overlooks the geopolitical factors that have helped bolster the UK market.
Commissioned by Universities UK, UK Research and Innovation and the Wellcome Trust, the second phase of the Concordats and Agreements Review (CAR), brought together the initiative owners and the research and innovation (R&I) community to look for potential future alignments to increase influence, capacity, and efficiency across the landscape.
There's a real change going on in international student behaviour. Universities must acknowledge this and tailor their services accordingly if they want to compete with fast-improving higher education institutions worldwide.
