WHY GLOBAL VISION UK?

Due to the recent world events and their impact world-wide on student applications, some pertinent factors have led to the need for an organization such as Global Vision UK. These include:

• The aggressive marketing emanating from other countries targeting for higher studies. This therefore requires a more robust and professional marketing of UK institutions.

• The excellent situation for Global Vision UK is strategically situated in the market and its ability to coordinate promotional activities such as workshops in times when political reasons disputes mean that travel costs are at their highest.

• Global Vision UK provides a single contact point for all UK institutions interests in student recruitment from the Gulf States, thereby simplifying potentiality, complex transactions and communications.

WHY THESE FIVE GULF COUNTRIES, LEBANON AND LIBYA?

• These countries rank amongst the richest oil-producing states with affluent students able to finance their own studies in the UK.

• A great number of high school students graduate each year wishing to progress to degree level studies. However, there are insufficient places in local academic institutions and many do not provide the variety of courses or depth of study required by prospective students.

• These Gulf States have a natural cultural inclination towards Higher Education in the UK.

• The secondary and post-secondary education structure and curriculum and assessment framework in these five states are very similar and accredited.

•  There are NO exclusive agents currently operating in these states who are well versed in the knowledge of degree programmes in the UK. Global Vision UK will train and strengthen local agents so that they meet the highest standards to cater for effective student counselling and the processing of applications.

• Most local higher education institutions and universities are growing in these countries and are seeking to establish links with the UK universities to accommodate opportunities for degree programmes of 2x2, 3x1 in-country and online/distance learning, split PhD and the like. Global Vision UK would like to screen and help create such openings for UK universities wherever they may proximately arise.
  These five countries due to their geographical cohesiveness would be very efficiently handled by one credible umbrella organization such as Global Vision UK.

• Global Vision UK provides cost-effective workshop opportunities for the UK institutions by coordinating a succession of works to closely related countries, thereby maximizing exposure but reducing the costs involved in many separate visits.

In times of any crisis or travel bans to and from the region for UK representatives, Global Vision UK can provide the continuity of service required for student queries and application follow-up on behalf of the UK universities.
