A decade of success: Growing international enrolment through strategic collaboration
While many UK universities grappled with a sector-wide 26% downturn in international student recruitment in Autumn 2024, the partnership between QA Higher Education and Northumbria University tells a different story.
Against a challenging market backdrop, Northumbria University London Campus recorded a remarkable 21.6% year-on-year growth in international enrolments, with this success stemming from deliberate, versatile strategies focused on:
• combining the strengths and investment from both the university and QA Higher Education
• agility in responding to market changes whilst ensuring quality and reputation
• student centricity and flexibility
• strong recruitment relationships
Northumbria University launched its London campus, a joint venture partnership with QA Higher Education in 2014. Over ten years of operation, the campus has grown its student body to more than 4,100 UK and international students, drawing on the shared resource of both the university and QA Higher Education.
