ICEF Podcast: Getting past policy shock: How the sector is responding to new migration settings

Listen in as ICEF’s Craig Riggs and Martijn van de Veen recap some recent industry news, including the pressing need for better data in international education and the ever-more-pressing need for faster and more effective responses to student enquiries.

This month's episode features a panel discussion – recorded live at the ICEF Monitor Global Summit in London last month – on how the sector is adapting to new policy settings in some of the world's major study destinations.

That conversation was moderated by Edified's Sara Sandford, and features Bobby Mehta, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Global Engagement) at the University of Portsmouth; Rachel MacSween, Director of Partnerships and Stakeholder Engagement with IDP; Marie Braswell, the Associate Vice President Global Strategy & Market Development for Centennial College; and Andy Howells, the Chief Marketing Officer of NCUK.

We conclude with a closer look at China as the latest stop for our “Keys to the Market” segment.
