UK jobs in international HE | Blog Entry by Vicky Lewis

Last month (3 March 2026 to be precise), I did a spot check of Professional / Managerial / Support Service jobs posted on the jobs.ac.uk website in the category 'International Activities'. What struck me was how much more variety there is now than a few years ago. There are some fascinating roles with a strong international dimension that sit outside International Offices, suggesting more effective institution-wide internationalisation. And the recurring priorities across this l... View Page

Positive Stories from UK Universities | Blog Entry by Vicky Lewis

I’m an alumna of three, very different UK universities: one Russell Group, one post-92, and one pre-92 (non Russell Group). They all send me end-of-year online newsletters. I have to confess that I normally skim-read these at best. However, this time round, amid all the news of deficits and redundancies and a general vibe of doom and gloom across the higher education sector, I felt the need to read some positive stories. As you’d expect, each newsletter shared details of impres... View Page

What would an ethical international strategy look like? PART 3 | Blog Entry by Vicky Lewis

Back in September 2022, I started a three-part series of blogs on the topic of ethical international strategies. Part 1 (Insights and quandaries) and Part 2 (Harnessing diverse perspectives and shared agendas) appeared, but I didn’t get around to writing up Part 3 (Reframing business models and processes) until now. While it’s still broadly based on the presentation I gave at Universities UK International’s Pro-Vice-Chancellor Forum in July 2022, I’ve added in a few id... View Page

Can we decolonise internationalisation? | Blog Entry by Vicky Lewis

Whenever you do a piece of research, it always sparks new avenues to pursue or ideas that need to be investigated. Some of the conversations I had when interviewing sector stakeholders for my Global Strategies Report last year set me thinking about the intersection between HE internationalisation and decolonisation. My initial – perhaps naïve – assumption was that they are underpinned by similar values and aspirations: inclusivity, the broadening of perspectives and the ch... View Page

Rethinking partnership models | Blog Entry by Vicky Lewis

When undertaking interviews for my Global Strategies research project, I asked what would be prominent (and different) in the next generation of UK global engagement strategies. Almost all interviewees highlighted the changing nature of partnerships and the need for models to be rethought, based on deep consideration of how international partnerships can help institutions to achieve their – and their partners’ – overarching strategic goals. Today’s blog provides an ... View Page

International Partnership Development | Blog Entry by Vicky Lewis

This year I’ve been involved in delivering or co-delivering a number of training courses on some aspect of international partnerships. Participants have worked in a variety of national and institutional environments. Running these courses reinforced my view that many of us are grappling with similar challenges, whatever our work context. Things like making sure that international partnerships contribute positively to broader institutional strategies; securing internal buy-in and comm... View Page

Strategic International Partnerships | Blog Entry by Vicky Lewis

In my last blog post, I wrote about Transnational Education Partnerships as a growth area. They are, of course, just one type of international partnership in which higher education institutions engage. Beyond collaborative programme delivery, partnerships can be developed to foster research activity, facilitate student exchange, provide staff development opportunities, boost knowledge transfer, build institutional capacity, improve funding prospects, strengthen global positioning and more. ...

Developing Transnational Education Partnerships | Blog Entry by Vicky Lewis

International partnerships have steadily increased in importance for UK HEIs over recent years. Research undertaken a few years ago by Vincenzo Raimo and Charlotte Harrison (published in The Guardian) indicates that ‘development / expansion of international partnerships’ was the most cited priority within UK universities’ international strategies, with 92% of universities considering it a priority. Of course, international partnerships have a range of drivers and come in var... View Page
