Lead researcher
The project was led by Rob Lawrence, a leading researcher on international education sentiments, market dynamics, demand and drivers. Across the past 3 decades Rob has worked in 38 countries on projects for the Australian, British, New Zealand, Canadian and Singapore governments, all of Australia’s state governments, many peak bodies (including IEAA), and over 90 universities, colleges and schools around the world. In 2014, Rob was presented with the highly prestigious 'Distinguished Contribution to International Education' award at the IEAA Excellence Awards.
"This project is one that I have felt particularly privileged to have
worked on. The results pave the way for a new perspective in terms of
how international students can become better immersed into campus
communities and feel equally recognised and valued as their ‘local’
counterparts,”
-- researcher Rob Lawrence says.
