THE has announced a new digital platform in collaboration with UCAS, UCL, Unifrog and Huron University focused on supporting international school counsellors.

The international school counsellor landscape is further professionalising, and recruiters must be aware of what students, parents and counsellors need when making choices regarding higher education options. Technology is proving useful, say experts in the field.

Chinese students are looking to alternative study destination options over the US, say school-based college counsellors in China.

The fourth IC3 Conference saw more than 900 educators from over 35 countries come together for a dialogue on inclusive counselling practices for student success.

The Common App, an online application system to more than 800 institutions worldwide, has announced the launch of a platform integrating third-party college counselling software providers.

Concourse Global in the US is hoping to revolutionise HE admissions by putting college counsellors back "in the driver's seat" during the application process.

College counsellors feel less confident advising the growing number of international students at US high schools on how to apply to university than domestic US students, according to a NACAC report.
