International Strategy

5

We recognise the myriad of benefits that a diverse and vibrant community of students, staff, and alumni brings to Hartpury as a whole. We will invest in expanding our recruitment of international students and staff, who will be drawn by our growing reputation as a world-class institution for teaching and research within our areas of expertise. To achieve this, we will: 1.1. Sustainably grow the number of international students at Hartpury, to form a larger proportion of our student body, in line with the University and College strategies. 1.2. Attract and support the best talent: passionate, talented, and skilled students and teaching and research staff, from across the world to study or work at Hartpury. 1.3. Foster a culture-rich community that thrives on diverse perspectives and experiences by actively recruiting students and staff from a wider range of countries. 1.4. Invest in comprehensive, diverse, targeted student recruitment initiatives and partnerships to strengthen our global reach and reputation, with a focus on international markets demonstrating strong demand for our subject specialisms. 1.5. Actively engage our growing international alumni communities through effective communication, events, and career

development. Our ongoing commitment to support graduates will create mutually beneficial opportunities for alumni to take on ambassadorial, mentorship, advisory, and recruitment roles. 1.6. Align our international plans with our sustainability strategy, including creating and implementing a sustainable international travel policy for staff and students, to ensure that essential travel is environmentally responsible, monitored, and in line with our sustainability goals.
