What LEC does
LEC’s main business is to advise institutions on how to increase their global impact. World class education is increasingly shaped by international opportunities and this is the focus of what we do:
We will help you to grow your international profile by
- Developing strategic and mutually beneficial international partnerships that work for you
- Enabling you to attract more high-quality international students
- Achieving increased diversity in your international students
- Launching your own international programmes and alumni groups
- Offering outbound international experiences to your domestic students
- Devising courses that will broaden your students’ experience and give them the best possible preparation for post-graduation employment and successful careers and lives
How LEC does it
- At LEC we provide both strategic support and hands-on project delivery to ensure change and growth is implemented successfully
- We will travel extensively with the aim of identifying institutions in Asia that are seeking to place their students in high-quality educational establishments in Europe
- We will travel worldwide in order to represent institutions that are seeking to place their students internationally
- We will access our extensive international network of partner schools and universities to facilitate reciprocal exchanges at institutional, faculty and student levels on behalf of globally minded institutions
- We will work closely with a broad range of schools and universities that are seeking to create summer school education to understand the developments in that market as well as the gaps
- We will stay close to sources of scholarship funding, to understand clearly what schools and universities need to demonstrate in order to access funding and to identify new sources of funding
