“International students are vital to the current and future health of UK further and higher education: the international diversity on our campuses enriches the environment for all staff and students. Over and above our responsibility to ensure a higher quality of experience for all of our students, as future partners in diplomacy, trade and cultural exchange, and as people likely to become influencers and decision-makers, we should take very seriously the question of whether international students’ experiences of the UK are positive.”
(Dame Alexandra Burslem in the preface to Broadening our Horizons: International Students in UK Colleges and Universities. UKCOSA (Council for International Education), 2004)
