Research Study on UK Transnational Education Alumni: Support, Engagement and Alumni UK's Role

The British Council, through Alumni UK, is seeking a research consultancy or organization to conduct a comprehensive mixed-methods research programme examining support services, engagement strategies, and needs of UK transnational education (TNE) alumni across approximately five TNE markets. The research will combine literature review, internal stakeholder surveys with British Council country offices, focus groups and interviews with UK higher education institutions and local TNE partners, and a direct survey of TNE alumni, culminating in cross-market analysis. Key deliverables include a detailed final research report and presentations for both internal British Council teams and external stakeholders. The scope offers potential for follow-on phases such as findings dissemination or additional research activities, subject to outcomes. This is an opportunity for experienced research providers to contribute to understanding alumni needs and informing Alumni UK's strategic engagement approach with this growing demographic.
