ICEF Podcast: International students and online programmes in the new normal

In this episode of our continuing podcast series, ICEF’s Craig Riggs (editor of ICEF Monitor) and Martijn van de Veen (vice-president of business development) discuss some of the trends shaping student mobility this month, including some important developments in Australia – where the border will at long last be opened (as of 1 December) to fully vaccinated international students – and the latest foreign enrolment trends from the United States.

They are joined this month by Stephanie Adamson – the assistant dean for international admissions and enrollment at the University of Arizona – who explains how her university has found its way to introducing some innovative programme models for international students. There are a number of interesting examples of online and hybrid programmes coming out of Arizona and we hear more about them in this episode.
