TNE Alumni Research: Support, Engagement and Role of Alumni UK

Description

The British Council (through Alumni UK) is seeking a research consultancy or research organisation to design and deliver a programme of primary and secondary mixed-methods research into the support, engagement and needs of UK transnational education (TNE) alumni, and the role Alumni UK could play in strengthening engagement with this group. The study covers approximately five TNE markets, combining a review of existing evidence and external literature, an internal survey of British Council country colleagues, focus groups/interviews with UK HEIs and local TNE partners, and a survey of TNE alumni, followed by cross-market analysis. Deliverables include a comprehensive final report and presentations for internal and external audiences. There is potential for further follow-on work (e.g. further dissemination or a subsequent research phase) depending on the findings, though this is not yet confirmed.
