Universities Wales has received funding for a new project that will support a future approach to international tertiary education in Wales.
The project will examine the key factors supporting the future success of Welsh institutions’ international activity – across both further and higher institutions – and will bring together a network of experts from Wales, the wider UK and beyond to produce a series of recommendations.
The project will be funded by HEFCW, and later Wales’ new Commission for Tertiary Education and Research – known as CTER – when it becomes fully operational later this year, with one of its strategic duties to promote a global outlook.
Set in the current “challenging landscape”, the new project is “particularly timely”, noted Gwen Williams, assistant director international at Universities Wales.
