Most higher education institutions (HEIs) in the UK, Australia and New Zealand actively work with international student recruitment agents. This recruitment mode entails multiple risks, which can jeopardise the interests of international students, providers, and/or the government. This presentation examines agency problems in agent-HEI-government relationships and the extent to which these can be mitigated. This event will be particularly useful for those interested in policies and practices in higher education.

In this webinar, Dr Jim McKinley and Dr Alfonso Del Percio will present on the topic of doctoral education in the first research seminar of this series. Doctoral education has received increased attention in recent years with concerns expressed about access by minority ethnic groups, preparation for future careers and the appropriateness of institutional structures and support for supervisors. This series will explore these and further issues.

Doctoral education studies have focused on learning processes, on supervisory relationships, on quality, access and employability just to mention a few themes. The rationales for such debates, while partly overlapping, are quite different: they point to concerns about academic excellence, instrumental views, student experience and, more recently, access. Differences in national higher education systems, universities and in disciplines have also added complexity to these conversations. This joint Centre for Higher Education Studies and Centre for Doctoral Education symposium aims to take stock from the ongoing discussions and will attempt to connect these themes.
