We are a membership organisation with more than 500 members, including every university in the UK, a number of FE colleges and students’ unions. Membership is per each organisation, so all colleagues have access to our services. See if your institution or students' union is a member.
We provide advice, training, guidance, discussion and debate about all aspects of the international student experience, including immigration, fees, student support, mental health and orientation.

-
Monitoring and influencing government and education sector policy through close contact with senior officials, policy makers, members of national parliaments and assemblies, partner organisations and sector bodies throughout the UK.
