Internationalisation strategies for Japanese education providers

The Japanese government has set a target to attract 400,000 international students by 2033, in an effort to foster innovation, and enhance Japan’s global competitiveness. This ambitious goal is both realistic and achievable, especially considering Japan’s renowned education system, the increasing availability of English-taught programmes, its welcoming, safe and stable society, and initiatives to simplify the visa process.

Given these favourable conditions, Japanese institutions now have a crucial role to play by actively revisiting their internationalisation efforts and exploring new, innovative international student recruitment strategies and partnerships.

In this exclusive webinar, we interview four industry experts, both Japanese and international, to discuss:

• Japan’s appeal, potential and ambitions as a study destination
• Recruitment strategies for educators aimed at attracting more international students
• Examples of recruitment partnerships that have been successful for leading institutions in top study destinations
