6. Change of language to purely “international”. Subtler and decreases feeling of segregation
7. Videos embedded on the homepage Simple navigation with easy / friendly language Bold images of photographs. Images are of international students enjoying University. Pictures are critical as testimony.
8. University Prospectus is still key Print material available online but displayed as its meant to look. Prospectus for an international audience but not an “International Student Prospectus”. Print material needs to be tactile, bold and modern Picked up at fairs along with rivals Needs bold imagery, testimonials, less text, information illustrated graphically (where possible) The prospectus needs to showcase the University. Not a one stop shop for information
