Why recruit international students

Are you looking for international talent to bring a different perspective to your workplace or looking to do business with overseas markets and suppliers but lack the expertise to move forward, look no further, an international student from the University of Leicester could be the answer you are looking for?

Each year there are more than 1500 students from outside the UK studying the full range of subjects and degree courses with the majority choosing to take courses in business, engineering, science, computing and law mainly at MSc and PhD level.  International students put a premium on getting work experience in the UK and could contribute to your organisation in the following ways:

• language skills – helping you to communicate with overseas markets and/or suppliers;
• cultural and cross cultural awareness – providing advice and information to ensure you make the right impact on your international customers and clients;
• knowledge of UK and overseas business practice – many international students have worked in their home countries and regions, often in professional and management positions;
• overseas contacts and networks – making sure you reach the right people and organisations to maximise your export potential;
• business and technical skills – international students often follow highly vocational courses allowing them to make an immediate impact at work;
• creating a diverse workforce – enabling your organisation to reflect the changing pattern of the UK working population and the need to develop relationships across a global business community.
