Global Student Mobility.
Pre COVID, nearly five million international students studied overseas each year. In November 2019, before the pandemic hit, we shared our outlook that by 2030 we expected that figure to reach at least seven million students each year.
Leading up to COVID, demand had been strong and was generally predicted to continue. While the shape of demand changed through events such as the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the global financial recession and immigration policy roller coaster, this was nothing compared to the immediate, worldwide halt to international student flows caused by COVID19. The question for many now is about the extent to which the traditional model of international education will resume, or if new/adjusted models, born during COVID, will stick, as alternatives or perhaps to power a whole new set of international students.
Ahead of our webinar on emerging digital models in International Higher Education, we dusted off our map of UNESCO’s 2018 student flows data to power a trip down memory lane and help you explore the complex landscape of international education.
Join 1,000+ International HE colleagues from around the world for our Emerging Digital Models webinar.
While the pandemic has thrown traditional approaches to international education into chaos and abruptly halted global student flows, new possibilities and new ideas are emerging to re-envision how international higher education might look post-COVID.
This session explores the innovations and new models being developed for international education and identifies the ways in which the international higher education market may evolve.
