Insights into Saudi Arabia: Strategies for UK ELT providers to attract Saudi students
English UK-British Council launch of the English Language Market Report Saudi Arabia 2023 | Tuesday 14 November (Online)
The UK attracts nearly 60% of all out-bound English language student weeks from Saudi Arabia, according to new research commissioned by English UK and the British Council. The results show a notable 22% rise in the number of self-funded Saudi students who wish to learn English in the UK.
These are just some of the findings revealed in a research report, which will be launched on Tuesday 14 November, during a dedicated webinar exclusively open to accredited UK ELT centres.
In light of recent transformations in Saudi Arabia, the landscape for students considering the UK as a study destination has evolved. Saudi students' preferences have altered, as have the financial support mechanisms they rely on. The research will help UK language centres gain a deeper understanding of these market trends and they will be able to leverage the report findings to tailor their offer effectively.
The full report will be distributed to all accredited language centres after the launch webinar.
