International conference: London as a global magnet for talent

London is a global magnet for international talent. The capital consistently ranks as one of the top destinations for study worldwide, and has more international students than any other city in the world. The recently-published London Growth Plan recognises international education as key to the capital’s success. But as the impacts of immigration policy, economic factors and global uncertainty continue to reverberate, maintaining London’s competitive edge requires strategic collaboration.

Drawing together London’s leading voices from higher education, government, business and industry, this event provides a platform for critical discussions about the future of international education in the capital to take place.
