The admission of international students into higher education

Universities and other higher education institutions operate in an increasingly international environment. Many of them run international marketing campaigns and recruit students on a global scale. Even those which do not engage in such activities are sometimes flooded with student applications from all over the world. Therefore, policies and instruments for the admission of international students are rapidly gaianing in importance. In this situation, institutions are looking for admission models which will both help them get the „right“ students and rationalise their administrative procedure.
