The Welsh Government has launched ‘Global Wales Discover’, an initiative to encourage Welsh undergraduate students at Welsh universities to complete short-term experience opportunities globally.

Latest UCAS figures have revealed that universities in Wales saw the biggest drop in the UK in the numbers of undergraduate applicants between 2017 and 2018, both in terms of EU and non-EU applicants.

Swansea University has announced a £45m college project with education provider Navitas on its campus in south Wales.

Universities in Wales have seen a drop in the number of non-EU international students, most notably from India and Bangladesh.

EU students applying to study at an English HE or FE institution in 2017 will have access to student funding for the duration of their course, the universities minister has confirmed.

Wales has released a report underlining the value of international education for the country: £530 million in export earnings in 2014 and 7,600 full-time equivalent jobs.

International is not a quick, easy win that will replace government funding that might be disappearing. You’ve got to have the relationships with your curriculum people as well, your academics within your college, and be prepared for anything.

Universities Wales has partnered with British Council Wales, the Welsh government and the Visit Wales tourist board to launch a new brand to promote Welsh universities internationally.
