Description

International student recruitment is a strategic priority for the University, and a key channel of recruitment is international pathway programs. Currently, the University delivers its own international pathway programs at both its main campus in the UK and at its Dubai campus. Partnership with a 3rd party provides marketing and student recruitment services for the programs against agreed targets. The contract under which this partnership operates is due to expire in 2028 and the University is keen to consider alternative and innovative approaches and models. We therefore welcome expressions of interest from third parties that can support the university in growing recruitment through its international pathways programs.
