The University of the West England, a public university offering more than 500 undergraduate and postgraduate courses, seeks to triple the number of Indian and Nepalese international students on campus by establishing a new dedicated recruitment office in the region.

Eighty-three percent of the university’s population are domestic students, but the remaining 17 percent are a mix of foreign students from South East Asia, China, Africa and the Americas.

Now UWE Bristol aims to bring its learning culture to India and Nepal and reach more students by partnering with M Square Media (MSM), which will help establish its in-country presence and operate a dedicated team for focused recruitment and assistance in managing its agent relationships and critical admission processes.

The university’s new initiative in South Asia is timed well with the UK post-study work visa, which will allow international students to stay in the country for up to two years after graduation in order to find work.

“We are excited to replicate MSM’s success with Canadian colleges and universities to this part of the world, and bridge the gap between highly qualified Indian students and UK institutions,” said Sanjay Laul, CEO and Founder of MSM.

“The world is a very small place and everything is globally connected.

RDC inked a new partnership with M Square Media (MSM), which will help establish its in-country presence and support its outreach and recruitment of international students from countries around the world, including India.MSM is a leading provider supporting the international education sector with offices in 17 countries and a team of over 250 professionals in North America, UK, India, Africa, the Philippines, and other parts of the world.

MSM has partnered with an extensive, well-trained network of 4,500 education agents to create results for its partner institutions.

“As RDC continues our bold journey to evolve to a polytechnic university, we are excited to also substantially grow our international student enrollment during the next few years.

We are pleased to partner with MSM in this journey of building meaningful relationships with agents and future students who will recognize the valuable education people receive now and in our future as Red Deer University,” said RDC President Dr. Peter Nunoda.

More learners coming to the central Alberta region will have positive benefits from economic and cultural perspectives as they live, shop and participate in community activities, according to Dr. Nunoda.

Working with dozens of Canadian public colleges and universities in their internationalization efforts, MSM will assist RDC in its on-ground and online promotions in various countries as well as help RDC faculty and staff prepare for change.

Amy Baker, CEO and Founder of The PIE, has joined the MSM International Advisory Board as another industry-recognized member.

Originally a journalist and editor before turning entrepreneur, Baker founded The PIE, a well-known and trusted independent media brand offering news and analysis for professionals in international education around the world.

Reaching 3.9 million people since launch, The PIE has a successful executive search division and the well-received annual event The PIE Live & The PIEoneer Awards.

It has emerged as a multi-faceted company which is uniquely positioned to understand challenges and opportunities globally in the industry.

As she becomes part of the MSM Board, Baker looks forward to hearing more global and informed perspectives in the industry, such as on the development of online learning at this challenging time.

“Post-coronavirus, we will see (and are already seeing) a realization that online learning can have positive impacts on how we learn and engage, and a rethinking of how to reach and engage with international students and offer them immersive experiences that will always contain a digital element,” she said.
