Global education is shifting fast. Changing funding priorities and policy reforms are driving change just as much as the new patterns in mobility and investment. In this insights-led webinar, we’ll unpack the latest global education market trends and explore what they mean for institutional strategy, partnerships, and positioning.
Drawing on data from the QS Education Market Insights and Market Expert datasets, we’ll highlight how verified intelligence on policy, funding, and provider activity helps leaders move from observation to action.
In this session, you’ll explore:
- Market momentum: The regions, sectors, and themes driving growth and reform.
- Funding and partnerships: How capital flows and collaborations are reshaping the landscape.
- Competitive dynamics: Where new providers are emerging - and how established ones are adapting.
- Data in action: How HolonIQ by QS visualises these shifts to support evidence-based decisions.
Join us to see how structured, cross-sector intelligence helps institutions anticipate change, benchmark effectively, and plan with confidence in an evolving global market.
