As UK universities grapple with financial sustainability challenges, they are increasingly looking for alternative revenue streams. Whilst overseas campuses have historically been discounted by some, financial pressures, and changing international student flows, are leading people to reconsider.
There is a big opportunity in India, and I expect this to be the start of a renewed look at overseas campuses more generally. But just because there is opportunity it does not mean it will be quick or easy! It feels almost inevitable that while some will succeed, others will fail.
In this article we look at the extent to which overseas branch campuses can support universities financial sustainability, and how university leaders can maximise their chances of success if they pursue this strategy.
