Abstract:
This poster explores how insights from the International Student Barometer (ISB)—a global large scale dataset of currently enrolled international students—can be used by Higher Education Institutions in the Asia-Pacific region to improve the international student journey. Through a comparative lens, we showcase how institutions across the globe are using ISB data leveraging international benchmarking to design stronger student journeys, delivering the ROI that currently enrolled (and future generations of!) students are expecting from their institutions of choice. We will showcase Good Practice examples that reflect international student needs.

Through case studies and visualised data comparisons, the poster will support Asia-Pacific Higher Education Institutions in being active contributors to a global community of good practice.

Poster Features:
• Heatmap of indicators of choice
• Infographic on the “Insight to Impact” feedback loop using ISB data
• Quotes from students (in Asia-Pacific) universities responding to good pratice support
• QR code linking to further ISB insights and tools for institutional benchmarking

Learning objectives:
– How benchmarking data enables strategic, student-centred change.
– What Asia-Pacific institutions are learning—and contributing—to global student journey conversations.
– A scalable framework for turning global insight into local impact.

Target audience:
Those working in student marketing and recruitment, those working in student support and those working in International Offices.
