FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The International Student Survey (ISS) is an annual survey of pre-enrolment international higher education students who have expressed an interest in studying outside of their home country. The survey examines their preferences for choosing a country and university, factors that influence their decision-making, as well as their information gathering habits and communication preferences.

The International Student Survey is conducted by QS on behalf of multiple university partners. You can request to take part in the next survey at internationalstudentsurvey.com/takepart.

The results of the ISS provide powerful insights that can inform your international recruitment and marketing strategy. Typically, QS and participating universities use the results to (a) develop a deeper understanding of their prospective students, to inform marketing and strategic planning, and (b) understand the preferred communication channels for prospective students, to inform and improve their marketing strategy.

A third-party survey platform (Qualtrics) is used to host the survey and collect responses, however QS is the only entity with direct access to the collected data. More information is available online at: https://www.qs.com/privacy-policy/
