Cher.  Madonna.  Elvis.  People so significant to culture and context that they went by one name.  To this list, we add Janet. Christopher and Judith are delighted to be able to present our recent Think Education podcast with Dr Janet Ilieva, founder and director of Education Insight.  Known by all in the international higher education sector, Janet is a font of knowledge and expert analysis and the conversation predictably touched on many different topics. Janet talked about the current landscape of international higher education and how it is being impacted by geopolitical decisions and developments.  We discussed the issue of multipolarity and what this means for issues of trust, student decision making and mobility. Janet offered insight into the flows of global mobility and changing patterns we have seen in student mobility and outlined the emerging destinations for international students. We talked about the nature of TNE partnerships and the intersection of collaboration and compromise that must often be reached.  Janet stressed the importance of joint ventures as a means to reduce costs and risk and highlighted that undergraduate recruitment is no longer the sole driver of TNE activity and property investors and business engagement require serious consideration and non-degree activity, vocational qualifications, professional development, and micro-credentials will be relevant for capacity building. There is scope for more tailored education that better fits student needs.   #UKwhiteppaer #geopoliitcs #multipolarity #trust #internationalstudents #globalmobility
