Join us for this important briefing to understand the needs of international students and how to market to them
BOOK NOWThe UK is home to almost 1 million international students each year. This means that 1 in 6 students studying in the UK are from overseas.
They have three times the spending power of home students. They are long-term tourists that want to experience the best of what the UK has to offer – which makes them a worthwhile consumer group to target but knowing what makes them tick and what they find appealing is vital if you want a piece of the £520m they spend on tourism.
During this event we will look at:
- Who is an international student – stats on nationalities, ages, gender
- Where do they choose in the UK
- What makes them tick
- What do they want from their time in the UK
- How do you sell to them – products, language, timings
- What does BREXIT mean for the international student market
- What work is being done to promote the UK as study destination
Delivered alongside our event host and sponsor Universities UK Internationalour panel of expert speakers will be sharing with you the work that is being done to attract this important visitor, plus an exciting ‘ask the international student’ panel, giving you the opportunity to hear directly from students who have choosen the UK to study.
