TL;DR: This article examined the factors motivating international student choice of the host country and concluded that economic and social forces within the home country serve to "push" students to seek overseas education and influencing the decision process in selection of a final study destination.
Abstract: Examines the factors motivating international student choice of the host country. It describes a “push‐pull” model motivating the student’s desire to seek overseas education and influencing the decision process in selection of a final study destination. Drawing on the findings from research studies undertaken in Indonesia, Taiwan, China and India, the paper examines the factors influencing host country selection and additional research that examines the factors influencing choice of final host institution. Based on these findings the paper argues that economic and social forces within the home country serve to “push” students abroad. However, the decision as to which host country they will select is dependent on a variety of “pull” factors. After drawing together the findings, the paper then examines the implications for governments and education institutions seeking to recruit international students.

TL;DR: In this paper, three critical success factors in online delivery are identified: technology, the instructor and the previous use of the technology from a student's perspective, and they also argue that the lecturer will continue to play a central role in online education, albeit his or her role will become one of a learning catalyst and knowledge navigator.
Abstract: The Internet is a major technological advancement reshaping not only our society but also that of universities worldwide. In light of this, universities have to capitalise on the Internet for teaching, and one progressive development of this is the use of online delivery methods. This paper draws upon the results of a survey conducted amongst students enrolled in one online management course at an Australian university. Three critical success factors in online delivery are identified: technology, the instructor and the previous use of the technology from a student’s perspective. We also argue that the lecturer will continue to play a central role in online education, albeit his or her role will become one of a learning catalyst and knowledge navigator.

TL;DR: In this paper, a modified version of the questionnaire developed by Keaveney and Young was administered to approximately 160 undergraduate business students at a state university in South Central Pennsylvania using path analysis, the hypothesized effects were tested empirically by incorporating a comprehensive set of independent variables and self-reported experiential assessments to predict experience, which in turn related to student satisfaction.
Abstract: Purpose – This paper focuses on the determinants of student satisfaction and retention in a college or university that are assumed to impact students' college experience.Design/methodology/approach – Using empirical data and Herzberg's two‐factor theory, a modified version of the questionnaire developed by Keaveney and Young was administered to approximately 160 undergraduate business students at a state university in South Central Pennsylvania. Using path analysis, the hypothesized effects were tested empirically by incorporating a comprehensive set of independent variables and self‐reported experiential assessments to predict experience, which in turn related to student satisfaction.Findings – The results indicate that the path coefficients from faculty and classes to students' partial college experience are consistent with the assumption that these are key factors that influence student partial college experience. Also, the path coefficient from student partial college experience to satisfaction was co...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used adaptive conjoint analysis (ACA) to investigate the importance of a number of attributes to high-school leavers in Australia and found that the four most important determinants of university preference were course suitability, academic reputation, job prospects, and teaching quality.
Abstract: Tertiary education has become more competitive in recent years due to reductions in government funding and higher student fees. As the nature of the environment grows more competitive, the role of marketing, previously non‐existent in most universities, has grown significantly. One of the key pieces of information that would assist a university’s marketing effort is an understanding of what determines a student’s university preference. Examines university preference using a form of conjoint analysis, known as adaptive conjoint analysis (ACA), to investigate the importance of a number of attributes to high‐school leavers in Australia. Results indicate that the four most important determinants of university preference were course suitability, academic reputation, job prospects, and teaching quality, which has significance for education managers developing marketing strategies and programs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors aimed at finding out the factors students consider important in their decision-making related to choice of university and courses of study and found that potential applicants to HE will increasingly become consumerist.
Abstract: Purpose – Higher education environments have become increasingly competitive and institutions have to compete for students in the recruitment markets With the introduction of student fees, it is hypothesised that potential applicants to HE will increasingly become consumerist The research upon which this paper was based was aimed at finding out the factors students consider important in their decision making related to choice of university and courses of studyDesign/methodology/approach – Five sixth form schools and colleges in the Southampton University Partnership Scheme participated in the study Three hundred and eighty seven students (186 male and 201 female) voluntarily participated The study involved a survey questionnaire based on a 10 point Likert scale and included 35 university choice factors which students were to rank accordingly It also included 10 items similarly ranked to identify factors influencing university subject or course choice Simple descriptive statistics were used to ident
