Stephen Wilkins, a PhD student at the School of Management’s International Centre for Higher Education Management, had his research recognised at the annual European Association for International Education conference this month.
The EAIE is a large European organisation whose main aim is to stimulate and facilitate the internationalisation of higher education in Europe and around the world, whilst meeting the professional needs of individuals active in international education.
Stephen was presented with the award for ‘Excellence in Research’ at the conference, which took place from 13th – 16th September in Copenhagen.
His research on student choice (how will the next generation of students in the UK and abroad make their choices regarding higher education?) is likely to have a practical impact for institutional marketeers and strategy-makers and for national policy-makers, in light of the current trends in higher education.
Organisers praised Stephen for demonstrating "innovativeness, influence and impact on the theory and practice of internationalisation of higher education."
