Around the World in 60 Minutes with Data:
Changing Student Interest Trends for Southeast Asia16th June 2021

17:00 GMT+10 (Melbourne)
09:00 GMT+2 (Amsterdam)
About the Session
The pandemic has been a game-changer: student mobility has been largely affected, and student interest in Southeast Asia has changed as well. Students have been browsing online and considering options abroad for their studies; now that marketing and recruitment have moved mostly online it is crucial to keep a finger on the pulse of student interest.
The webinar will drive you through long-term changes and sudden shocks, trying to make sense of what has been a complex year: keeping the focus on Southeast Asia, as the destination, and summarising the core changes for international student interest by subject area and countries of origin.
Registration deadline: 16th of June 2021
