Listen in as ���Ϲ���’s Craig Riggs and Martijn van de Veen recap some of the latest developments in our sector, including findings from a new multi-country, multi-channel mystery shopping study as well as South Korea's rapid progress in building its foreign enrolment base.

Our co-hosts are then joined by two special guests – Sarah Todd, principal consultant with ; and Gordon Scott, managing director of – for a discussion that goes beyond the offer letter to break down the hierarchy of student needs and concerns about study abroad.
