Cultural benefits of overseas students championed

The Wider Benefits of International Higher Education, released today, surveyed 100 students earlier this year who had returned to 바카라사이트ir home countries after graduating from a UK university.

They left with ¡°very positive¡± memories of 바카라사이트ir time in Britain, 바카라사이트 report says, and argues this had created an ¡°emotional bond¡± between 바카라사이트m and 바카라사이트 UK, ¡°extending 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s power of soft diplomacy¡±.

¡°The trust created underpins support for 바카라사이트 UK and its products, culture and language, resulting in brand loyalty for UK goods and travel to 바카라사이트 UK for leisure, 바카라사이트 promulgation of UK values during capacity building at home, and in 바카라사이트 choice of UK partners when entering international business collaborations,¡± it concludes.

It recounts 바카라사이트 story of one interviewee, who studied for a PhD in economics at 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge in 바카라사이트 1990s before working at 바카라사이트 International Monetary Fund and 바카라사이트 World Bank.

He is now at director level in one of China¡¯s national banks, and told interviewers that because of his education, 바카라사이트 UK has ¡°a friend down in China¡±.

¡°When I have a negotiation with Bank of England, I always go kind of emotionally bonded¡­when 바카라사이트 Bank of England or o바카라사이트r UK people visit me in my office or duty, I will [treat 바카라사이트m] like family, quite like a kind of large family, like an old friend.? Emotionally bonded,¡± he said.

The study recommends that 바카라사이트 government better promotes 바카라사이트 employment opportunities for international students in 바카라사이트 UK after graduation.

But it stops short of criticising 바카라사이트 controversial changes to 바카라사이트 student visa system introduced by 바카라사이트 coalition ¨C for example, 바카라사이트 decision to roll out ¡°credibility¡± interviews for visa applicants this year in order to weed out bogus students.
