To address this gap, this book offers a comprehensive and holistic exploration of this emerging area. It delves into both the theoretical and practical aspects of international student recruitment, addressing the various financial, administrative, legislative, socio-cultural, and market-related barriers that hinder this process. The chapters in this edited collection cover a wide range of topics, including the role of social media in attracting international students, the impact of the internal environment on recruitment, and the internationalization of universities as a strategic approach. By providing a comprehensive snapshot of global policies on international student recruitment across Asia, Europe, and North America, as well as considering related issues such as student integration and cultural adjustments, the authors and editors aim to equip readers with a more sophisticated understanding of the field, empowering them to engage in further research and practical strategies.
