Around the world in five
Education news stories from our key partner countries around the world
Canada
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has announced further details of changes to the Post-Graduation Work Permit, including the eligible fields of study for college students.
Korea
The government of South Korea has launched new immigration initiatives, including longer post-study work periods for international students, expanded opportunities for permanent residency, a new youth mobility visa, and a new visa stream for graduates from the world’s top-ranking universities.
United Kingdom
Opportunity, growth, and partnership: a blueprint for change from the UK’s universities calls for a rethinking of funding and strategies for the UK tertiary sector. The report recommends the establishment of a coordinated global strategy for UK universities, and the creation of a “Compact” between universities and government to ensure sustainable and stable levels of international student recruitment
United Kingdom and Australia
Overall satisfaction grew for the first time in two years – largely driven by significant improvement at UK and Australian institutions, according to results from Edified’s most recent annual student enquiry experience tracker. The shoppers ranked Australian and New Zealand universities as the best for sending the “most relevant and persuasive responses”, sharing content that interested them half of the time compared to one in every six communications from European universities.
United States
International students in the US will no longer be able to study abroad for longer than five months as part of what stakeholders believe could be an "unintended consequence" of a new policy change.
