Description
The University of Exeter currently employs third party consultants to act on behalf of the University in selected overseas regions. These regions have been identified as strategically important for international student recruitment and partnership activity. These consultants are managed by the third party entity and work exclusively with the respective regional manager or main contact within the University of Exeter International Office. These consultants will then be seen as official representatives within the specified regions and will carry our extensive operations for the institution as well as acting as a point of contact for key stakeholders across the stated region. In order for us to keep a consistent presence and develop our key relationships, having a permanent presence in priority regions is an established part of our strategy and activity for international recruitment. This activity should supplement and complement our internal resource and activities, providing expertise, in country representation, and support for both university staff and applicants.
