Notes for Editors
About the GREAT Britain and Northern Ireland campaign
- The GREAT Britain and Northern Ireland campaign (GREAT) is the government바카라 사이트s flagship international communications programme. The objective is to drive economic growth across the entire nation by encouraging an international audience to visit, study, trade, invest, live and work in the UK.
- Established in 2011, GREAT promotes the best of the UK and has been used in 149 countries worldwide, and by 22 government departments and ALBs, providing HMG바카라 사이트s international network with a high-quality, impactful and consistent communications brand.
GREAT Study UK
- The Study UK campaign was first launched in 2016, when the British Council and GREAT introduced a new overarching campaign to unify and focus the UK바카라 사이트s international marketing efforts.
- Study UK has generated a total of £407 million return on investment (ROI) for the UK from international student enrolments in the academic year 2021/22.
- This represents 1.14% of the total net impact generated from international enrolments in this period, and is equivalent to a total of 4,316 individual enrolments as a result of Study UK.
- Approximately £1,190 of each international student바카라 사이트s spend in the UK can be attributed to Study UK.
- The methodology combines published data with self-reported data from an annual survey. Published data allows us to produce:
- An estimate for the number of new international students enrolled at UK HEIs in 2021/22
- The average net economic impact for each of these students over the duration of their studies The annual survey of newly enrolled international students studying with UK HEIs generates data from which we derive:
- The number of new international students whose decision to study in the UK was influenced to any degree by Study UK
- The average extent to which students바카라 사이트 ultimate decisions were influenced by Study UK, in the context of other sources used. The calculation assumes that self-reported estimates of the overall influence of Study UK in their decision are over-estimated by students and adjusts for that.
- It also makes a number of adjustments based on the context of students바카라 사이트 decision making journeys, namely:
- when students first encountered Study UK in their decision-making journey (the earlier a student encounters it, the more effect it can have),
- the number of information sources used and the relative influence of each,
- the extent to which Study UK delivered information and reassurance on the factors of greatest importance in students바카라 사이트 decisions of where to study.

바카라 사이트There바카라 사이트s something special about Wales. There바카라 사이트s a culture of openness and welcome here that I had never experienced before. There바카라 사이트s this term in Welsh, 바카라 사이트cwtch바카라 사이트, which is often painted on the walls. It doesn바카라 사이트t have a direct translation to English, but people have explained it as a positive, safe feeling and sense of togetherness and community.

바카라 사이트As someone who wants to go into the music industry, I know that just being in the UK offers many opportunities. There are so many more music labels, music publishing companies and music management companies in the UK than anywhere else.
