This hands-on beginner guide to international education data introduces participants to a range of international education datasets available globally, with a focus on Australia. You’ll hear from expert speakers, including international education professionals who work in government organisations and consultancies, who will walk you through a range of datasets and sources, providing tips along the way. This session also provides you with an opportunity to meet and network with others who are approaching international education data as beginners.
If you have more experience using and analysing international education data, please consider attending our Advanced Masterclass in International Education Data.
