By Leasa Weimer. The May 2015 issue of the Journal of Studies in International Education is online with timely, useful and relevant pieces. In an effort to bring research on international education closer to practitioners, the EAIE is introducing a blog series highlighting relevant articles. Practitioners often find academic research on international education too abstract, theoretical, and impractical.

By Markus Laitinen. Internationalisation of higher education might not be considered quite as compelling as Woody Allen’s 1972 film about sex, but with the publication of the EAIE Barometer all involved in the field, from practitioners to policy makers, have a horn of plenty available to them. Usually rectors, vice chancellors and other higher education leaders get to have their say when it comes to the state of play in higher education internationalisation. More...

By Brikena Xhomaqi. Securing a chance to study abroad is a big step for students, but if they don’t have anywhere to live, it may end up a missed opportunity. Should student accommodation be regarded as the institution’s responsibility, or are students expected to locate an affordable solution, in a learning-conducive environment?

Perhaps you are looking to identify an aspect of international education where your own research can make a unique contribution?

By Charlie Mathies. It’s that time of year when specialised global university rankings are being revealed. Last week Times Higher Education (THE) released their reputational rankings, and Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) just publicised their world rankings by subject (academic disciplines). U-Multirank also released their ‘readymade’ rankings last month and will soon divulge their overall 2015 rankings. For each ranking there are differences in where a university may place, but why is this? It comes down to three main things:  the ‘who’, the ‘what’ and the ‘why’ of global university rankings.

By Jessica Winters. In this increasingly online era, most of us working in higher education recruitment are dealing with the same problem: which tools should we use to reach our prospective students and how do we get them to where we want them to be?
