Abstract

The British Council, in partnership with ACER, designed and developed a survey consisting of an online questionnaire and interviews, to gather information from international alumni systematically and periodically, with the purpose of building a valuable longitudinal dataset. This research report relates only to the first year of the survey. The long-term aim is to conduct this survey annually, for an initial period of five years. The longitudinal survey has the following three overriding objectives: • To gather evidence of the value of international education in the UK. This means value to the UK in terms of long-term relationships, business links, trust and reputation, and value to the student through employability and social capital • To evaluate the Alumni UK programme which is a global network for people from around the world with a UK higher education experience • To support the British Council in exploring longitudinal studies: what works well, what are the challenges, and what can be learnt from this process.
