As an important part of our international strategy, the University of Sopron works with agencies in order to increase the number of foreign students. Recently two members of the Centre for International Affairs, Dr. habil. Zoltán Szabó PhD MBA and Katalin Krajczár-Sári have represented our University at a series of meetings with professional travel and international education agencies:
DIIET Global Limited and ReGGitel are both based in Kumasi, Ghana, both have a wide scope of international travel-related activities, but are clearly focused on student recruitment. Ustudy Global, which is based in Melville, United States is one of the industry leaders in international education, with a separate Agency Division dedicated to this segment of student recruitment.
The key points of all three of these meetings were to introduce the University and its environment in details, highlighting the benefits of studying in this region of Hungary, as well as our strategic goals, teaching and research objectives focusing on the 11 English-language study programmes and complementary information, such as the dormitory, student life and other opportunities for students. All agency representatives were distinctly intrested and asked heaps of of questions, primarily about the application process, the admission requirements and the experiences of our previous international students.
A wider network of international partners, particularly education agencies is crucial to the success of our upcoming application period – from 20th April to 20th May – so our representatives’ positive experiences with these meetings mean a great step to the right direction. Hopefully it is going to result in long-term cooperation with the above-mentioned agencies.
