Over the last 10 years universities’ income from overseas students has more than doubled, rising to approximately 9.6% of the HE sectors’ total income for 2009-2010 (HEFCE, 2011). With fees for international students remaining uncapped, these income targets will increase further. With the international market growing at about 7% per year, there is now increasing pressure not only to recruit overseas students, but also to ensure a high quality of student experience, as emphasied in the Government’s Education White Paper (June 2011) ‘Putting Students at the Heart of the System’.

The aim of this one-day swap-shop is to highlight best practice in enhancing internationalisation, focusing on three key areas: curricula, diversity and inclusion. The swapshop will showcase a range of practical examples and individual sessions will be limited to a maximum of 15 minutes.

Key Note Speaker - Dr Catherine Montgomery
