Acumen supports a vast array of international education organisations with their international presence worldwide, including universities, vocational providers, schools, EdTech providers, accommodation providers and education agents. At the heart of our service is the belief that students around the world benefit from an international learning experience and that international education organisations in turn benefit from diversity of thought, culture and experience which international students bring.

The Benefits of Internationalisation


Social Mobility

Students benefit from higher employability due to exposure to a multicultural environment, higher awareness of global trade, finance and industry operations. It is also observed that students with international experience are also often more self-reliant and confident.

Increased and Diversified Revenue
In the 2018/19 UK cohort, consisting of close to 500,000 international students, over £22.7bn was generated by non-EU students. This revenue accounts for 20% of all higher education students in the UK.
Fostering Diversity
International students enrich their education provider and communities with unique perspectives and experiences, expanding the horizons of both local and international students

The Benefits of Internationalisation
