In today’s private higher and further education space, students face unprecedented choices and the expectations of a global learning experience, wherever their place of study. Now extending far beyond attracting overseas students and delivering UK programmes abroad, internationalisation represents the preparation of all higher and further education graduates to live in, and contribute responsibly to, a globally connected society. We believe that Internationalisation is driven by several factors.
- Increasingly diverse student populations with more students choosing to study degrees in different universities and overseas.
- An increasingly diverse higher and further education provision in partnership with UK organisations exporting programmes through transnational education, ‘flying faculties’ and working with international partner organisations.
- Increasingly high expectations from students and employers for higher and further education providers to equip students with the skills to succeed in a global communities.
Our approach is holistic, embracing the principles of inclusion and globalisation. We support and develop policies and practices that are informed by a broad global view. Our internationalisation framework provides a structure for successful strategy and practice. We have a unique collection of resources, research, reports and guidance documents to support higher and further education providers and learners alike. Cavendish brings together staff and students engaged in learning and teaching through events, resources and networks. We offer workshops, seminars and conferences and provide direct consultancy services to help develop and implement internationalisation strategies and associated practice
