Higher Education News Detail
Much like the UK, Canada is also seeking to tighten up regulations surrounding the student visa system. Under proposals announced by immigration minister Jason Kenney, student visas would only be granted for study at a list of approved institutions. Once admitted to the country, students may also be required to prove that they are actually studying, reports Sun News. The regulations are planned for 2014.
The Institute of International Education (IIE) is campaigning to raise US$5 million to support Syrian students and academics whose studies and research has been disrupted by civil war. As well as fundraising, the IIE is also organizing a network of universities across the globe, who are willing to offer places to Syrian students and researchers, reports the New York Times
The European Commission has officially announced the launch of its planned international university ranking, U-Multirank. Universities are invited to sign up for inclusion in the ranking over the next six months, with the first round of results to be published in 2014. Institutions will be assessed in five categories: research reputation, teaching and learning, international orientation, knowledge transfer and regional engagement.
