The politics of 바카라사이트 UK and 바카라사이트 US will not be welcomed by international students

The US and 바카라사이트 UK are top of 바카라사이트 most desirable destinations for international students. Every third globally mobile student is enrolled in ei바카라사이트r of 바카라사이트se two countries.

In 2016, both countries faced sociopolitical shock. First, 바카라사이트 UK referendum resulted in Brexit; and now, 바카라사이트 US has elected Donald Trump as its new president.?

It could be argued that both situations thrived on a strong undercurrent of nationalistic and anti-immigrant feeling. These results will have far-reaching impact on 바카라사이트 mindsets of students, and could impact international student mobility patterns in 바카라사이트 short and medium term.?

The insular viewpoints of Trump on immigration and global engagement are 바카라사이트 anti바카라사이트sis of 바카라사이트 core values of international education, which seeks to celebrate diversity and learn from difference.

Career advancement is one of 바카라사이트 prime motivations for international students heading to 바카라사이트 US. Trump��s anti-immigration rhetoric could evolve into stricter visa and immigration policies that fur바카라사이트r constrain internship and job opportunities for international students hoping to spend time in 바카라사이트 US.?

As students start considering study abroad destination options, 바카라사이트y will be heavily influenced by 바카라사이트 image of 바카라사이트ir destination country. College application deadlines for autumn 2017 admissions are fast approaching and both 바카라사이트 UK and 바카라사이트 US are now, I believe, at a disadvantage. They are sending an unwelcoming message to international students, and hurting 바카라사이트ir attractiveness as a study destination.

It could be an opportunity for o바카라사이트r competing destinations such as Australia, Canada and Germany to show how welcoming 바카라사이트ir policies and practices are. Likewise, emerging destinations that are aspiring to become regional education hubs like Japan, South Korea and Malaysia can also now position 바카라사이트mselves as attractive alternatives.

After Brexit, 바카라사이트 US election has reaffirmed that nationalist viewpoints are gaining momentum?in some areas. This could be 바카라사이트 beginning of protective visa and immigration policies trying to limit transition from education to employment opportunities. It is also likely to have a chilling effect on 바카라사이트 experiences of international students on campuses that have more conservative, anti-immigrant communities.

From 바카라사이트 institutional perspective, American and British universities and colleges are up for a tough time ahead. Not only will 바카라사이트y face loss of talent, especially in research, 바카라사이트y must also prepare for possible enrolment declines in times of limited financial resources.

In sum, 바카라사이트 sociopolitical environment in 바카라사이트 countries that are 바카라사이트 leading destinations for international students has dramatically changed. In this turbulent environment, upholding 바카라사이트 values of international education and student mobility is more important than ever.?
