Demographic obligation - and opportunity | Blog Entry by Vicky Lewis

I’ve written and spoken before about the evolution of UK university international strategies over time. In generalised terms, there was a shift from international strategies in the late 1990s (largely synonymous with international student recruitment) to internationalisation strategies in the late 2000s (more comprehensive, but still internally focused on making the institution ‘more international’) to global engagement strategies in the late 2010s (more outward-facing, with...

UK university strategy case study | Blog Entry by Vicky Lewis

The theme of Winter Forum 2024, the magazine of the European Association for International Education (EAIE), is ‘Building Back Better?’. This issue explores the ways in which international education has shifted since the pandemic. As the Editorial puts it: ‘What does ‘building back better’ really mean for international education? The emphasis is on the word ‘better’; it invites higher education institutions to rethink internationalisation throu... View Page

A tale of two 'firsts' | Blog Entry by Vicky Lewis

Browsing Times Higher Education (THE) on 14 November 2024, I came across two articles about UK universities strengthening their international presence by establishing permanent physical bases in other countries: Imperial opens science and technology research hub in Ghana Southampton wants 5,000 students at ‘comprehensive’ India campus At first sight, these initiatives are very different. Imperial College London ‘has become the first UK university to open a permanent... View Page

One year on from my Global Strategies Report | Blog Entry by Vicky Lewis

It was a year ago this month, in April 2021, that I published my report UK Universities’ Global Engagement Strategies: Time for a Rethink? This triggered thought pieces for University World News, HEPI, Wonkhe, The PIE and others, as well as an article for the EAIE’s Forum magazine on distributed leadership in international education, one for Times Higher Education about placing language learning at the heart of internationalisation, and a recent one, co-authored with Omolabake Fak...

New Global Strategies report | Blog Entry by Vicky Lewis

It’s a while since I posted a blog. The research project that I mentioned in my November and December blogs grew into something much larger than I anticipated and I have been busy working on that. Given my long-standing fascination with the evolution of HEI international strategies, particularly within the UK context, I started out thinking it would be interesting to take the temperature of the sector in late 2020 and see which aspects of global engagement were being prioritised in ...

The UK HEI Strategic Plan Landscape | Blog Entry by Vicky Lewis

I am currently working on a research project which explores the profile of the international / global dimension in institutional strategic plans right across the UK Higher Education sector. Rather than waiting until I’ve finished analysing everything, I’m going to share emerging observations as I go (with the caveat that my thinking may change as I get further through the project). Today’s blog provides an overview of the UK HEI strategic plan landscape and makes some ob... View Page

Global Engagement and Sustainability | Blog Entry by Vicky Lewis

I very much enjoyed The PIE Live virtual summit this week. Although it was a shame not to be able to meet colleagues face-to-face, the platform gave as close to a ‘normal’ conference experience as is possible in a virtual format. I can certainly see this becoming a much more frequently adopted approach to conferences than all the flying around the world we used to do. Which brings me to my two highlights of the conference: the Sustainability Panel and the Global Engagement Index Q&am... View Page

Time to move on from the internationalisation strategy? | Blog Entry by Vicky Lewis

In my recent conversation with Elspeth Jones (Jones, E. & Lewis, V. (2020) In conversation - Evolution of UK International Education Strategy, June 2020), we discussed the evolution of UK HEI international strategies. I outlined the progression from economically motivated strategies with an almost exclusive focus on recruiting international students (in the late 1990s, early 2000s) to broader internationalisation strategies (in the late 2000s, early 2010s). The latter were more comprehens... View Page

Changing institutional TNE strategies and their drivers | Blog Entry by Vicky Lewis

As I’ve mentioned here, here and elsewhere, there seems to be increasing UK HEI sector talk about developing long-term, deep, multi-faceted institutional partnerships and collaborative delivery models with international partners. In the area of transnational education (TNE), partnership approaches with host country partners are becoming more equitable, less ‘one-way-traffic’ (see pdf of this UUKi / British Council report from 2016). And fears about the implications... View Page
