Effective International Student Recruitment

The International Education Site can provide colleges and universities with a fast, efficient and cost effective means of recruiting international students from around the world.

Since 97% of academic establishments already have a website, this poses the question:

Why The International Education Site?
Obviously if a student has already decided which country he/she wants to study in, which college he/she wants to attend, which subject and course they want to undertake, when they want to start and what qualification they wish to obtain from that institution, then they should be able to communicate directly with that institution.

Most international students however need help and advice in finding answers to at least one of the following queries:
Which Country?
Which College?
Which Course?

The International Education Site is designed to help them find solutions to these questions, whilst acting as a gateway to a college's own website and establishing contact between a student's requirements and the courses an establishment has to offer.

So how do student internet users locate the websites they want to visit?
By using a Search Engine
By seeing the address advertised in a magazine or newspaper
By using a link from another site
By being told the address by someone else

Generating Student Enquiries

The quantity, quality and cost effectiveness of response generated by any advertisement is what international student recruitment advertising is all about. As a consequence, we have developed a new Automated Response System which ensures:

  • Each student using the site receives the email and postal address ONLY of those advertisers they have requested or those that exactly match their course/ level/ date/ country/ etc requirements.
  • Advertisers receive details ONLY of students that are interested in the course/ level/ date/ country/ etc requirements that they offer.
  • Advertisers are emailed ONLY these student's details, including their: name, address, email, phone, academic history, course required, level required, english language scores, funding status, and much more...
  • All enquiries and advertiser reports are processed within two working days.

We believe this system to be unique and allows any advertiser to measure exactly both the quantity and the quality of responses generated on a weekly basis. You need to know if it was worth the investment!

The Importance of Good Search Engine Positioning
The fact that the web is the fastest growing global research medium for International education means that prime search engine positioning is paramount. This is especially important when trying to reach overseas students who are in the process of trying to choose a college or university without a firm idea of where they want to study.

That is why our team of web designers have devised a program that keeps The International Education Site on the front page of the major search engines, including:

Aol, Yahoo, Infoseek, Lycos, Hotbot, Looksmart, Ask Jeeves, msn, Netscape, Google, Excite, and many others.

The major search engines frequently change the way in which they scan websites and prioritize prime listings, our web designers continually ensure that our website homepages meets the key buzzword requirements from these search engines.

This means we are committed to coverage on the most successful search engines which are accessed as a premium method of research for international education on the worldwide web. The search terms we target are broad based and cover most aspects of studying abroad.

Promotion at International Education Exhibitions
The global face to face venues of International education exhibitions are also an important method of branding our commitment to serving International students. We regularly attend the major international education exhibitions in order to promote The International Education Site and encourage students to use our services.

*Please review our exhibition list for fall/spring 2003-2004.
