Description

Please note this is not a tender opportunity, nor is this a guarantee that there will be a resulting procurement. This is a Request for Information, the responses to which may be used to inform the University's approach with regards to student recruitment.

The University for the Creative Arts (UCA) is undertaking market research into Pathway Providers. UCA is looking to engage with partners who have experience with international student recruitment at foundation and pre-master's level. This is intended to support UCA's strategy for sustainable, high quality and diverse international student recruitment.

UCA would like to receive information about which pathway providers are currently active in the UK and the range of international pathway programmes that are on offer to students who ultimately wish to study at degree level in the creative arts, or in courses aligned to business for the creative industries.

We would ask that Pathway Providers respond to the below questions, as well as provide any additional information that they think may be relevant to UCA.

1. What is the standard operating model (do providers receive a standard fee or is the work undertaken done on a concessionary basis or use an alternative model)?

2. How were the appointments made / via what process (procurement / partnership)?

3. Where are providers currently fulfilling this role and what are the number of students involved / feeder markets / subjects / study levels / duration?

4. What are the sponsor license arrangements?
