Host Darren Ellis returns with a new panel of experts to tackle the subject of international students in the UK.

In this episode, the panel discusses how recruitment efforts have been adapted in light of Covid, which markets we’ll be looking to for the next generation of international students, and how accommodation teams can make sure they have a great experience living and studying in the UK.

Darren is joined by:

· Sir Steve Smith, the government’s International Education Champion and former Vice Chancellor of the University of Exeter

· Vivienne Stern, Director of Universities UK International

· Dr Paul Greatrix, Registrar at the University of Nottingham

· Sheena Birch, Commercial Director at Unite Students
