What makes students happy? A global deep dive

The number of international students worldwide has rapidly increased in the past two decades and this growth will continue. Understanding what makes students happy is essential: it affects their well-being, mental health and thus study progression. We will combine a large global data set with the experiences of a European and a Canadian institution to dive deep and gain an understanding of students’ happiness and the impact on recommendations to prospective students.

This session will be available to watch on-demand and will be broadcast during the virtual programme on Friday, 29 September at 14:00 CEST.
