Overview
As the global higher education landscape continues to change, what can universities do to give themselves the competitive edge? What developments in other countries should you be aware of? How do our potential partners see us? And how will political change, both at home and overseas, impact your international activity?

Now in its third year, the International Higher Education Forum provides insights into the latest developments, trends and opportunities for universities – all through its access to the some of the most experienced professionals in the sector, government and partner organisations, and to senior representatives from a wide range of countries of interest to UK higher education institutions.

Find out about what lessons can be learnt from our international counterparts. Hear from the UK HE International Unit and others about existing opportunities and how to access them. Exchange ideas and strategies with other higher education providers.

Speakers include:

• Professor John Sexton, President, New York University
• Jeremy Chan, Regional Head of Research and Consultancy, East Asia, British Council, China
• Wendy Appleby, Registrar, UCL
• Dr Jo Beall, Director of Education and Society at the British Council
