There has been a massive shift in how the international education sector can attract, support, and encourage international students to continue to see the value of an Australian education experience.
Education providers are now increasingly investing in digital strategies, and they are now required to change the traditional delivery mode of teaching to online. They are also looking to Transnational Education as a source of future international students or to offer students an alternative study destination meanwhile ensuring that the same high standards of an Australian education is maintained.
A lot of time, work and resources have been focused on developing these new marketing and recruitment strategies however, universities do not have data on how successful these strategies have been.
Education institutions are investing large amounts of resources in adopting new marketing and recruitment strategies in the hopes that they will assist the sector in recovering but the effectiveness of these strategies is not being measured within the sector to share data, experiences, and success stories!
DOTS will enable participants to gain a detailed understanding of how other education institutions are engaging these strategies and what role and value the three initiatives have in developing effective international student recruitment strategies.

THE FOCUS IS ON THREE KEY AREAS
#1. Digital StrategiesAs a result of COVID-19 and travel restrictions, higher education providers are relying more heavily on digital channels to support the recruitment of international students. A comprehensive analysis of digital marketing initiatives will provide competitive intelligence on the effectiveness of these tools to support international student recruitment strategies and will provide vital intelligence about who is engaging with, investing in, and getting value from online strategies. It will enable institutions to identify best practice and compare their efforts with other institutions. |
#2. Online ProgramsThe shift to online education is presenting opportunities and challenges for universities around the world. COVID-19 is rapidly changing traditional delivery modes and it is important to obtain a better understanding of how Australian institutions are commercially reacting to this change. The DOTS Analysis will enable the sector to gain an understanding of the current and future plans to engage in online education and highlight opportunities in this area. |
#3. Transnational EducationHigher education providers are considering how Transnational Education may play a greater and more important role in the future to establish effective and solid pathways. The DOTS Analysis will provide baseline data to assess opportunities in this space and highlight the structure of transnational education strategies for each higher education provider. |

There is currently no instrument or project in Australia which is addressing these challenges or which provides important insights on how higher education providers are managing these strategies and most importantly, how effective these strategies have been to date and over the coming years.
