I felt privileged to speak at the NUS & UKCISA training event in Bradford last week 'International students and students' unions: creating a global future for all students' - 13th October.
About 80 NUS officers and international student representatives came together from across the UK to listen to invited speakers and to discuss issues such as:
* Enhancing global employability
* Making immigration simpler
* Living in the UK
* Internationalising further education colleges
* Making international student fees more transparent
Christina Yan Zang, the NUS International Students Officer, launched the NUS 'Charter for becoming a global university' which lays out a 10-point agenda for NUS work in this area. I look forward to seeing how their work develops in parallel to the work of so many institutions and other stakeholders in areas such as increasing student mobility and meeting the targets of the Bologna process.
I was asked to speak about the academic experiences of international students (slides available on ESCalate's website) and was ably assisted by Colin Neville of Bradford University who spoke about issues of academic misconduct and referencing.
