From India, there was a 55- to 60-per-cent increase. In all, about 20 to 25&nbsp;per cent of students at °µĶųTV are international.</p> <h3><a href="https://beta.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/education/canadian-university-report/canadian-universities-a-growing-destination-for-international-students/article36637604/">Read about °µĶųTV and international students&nbsp;in the <em>Globe and Mail's </em>Canadian University Report</a></h3> <p>ā€œThereā€™s a real surge in interest from around the world,ā€ <strong>Ted Sargent</strong>, vice-president, international at °µĶųTV told the <em>Globe</em>, and that interest is translating into enrolment. ā€œSo their interest in us is very genuine. Theyā€™re not just scattering applications around.ā€</p> <p>The article outlines °µĶųTV's strong recruitment push south of the border, which began about a year ago. "We have students from over 140 countries, but we don't get as many American students as we think we should," said&nbsp;°µĶųTV registrar&nbsp;<strong>Richard Levin</strong>.</p> <p>"Previously, we were seeing application increases [from the U.S.] of 20 or 30 per cent, but this year there's clearly a change in the curve," said Levin.</p> <p>°µĶųTVā€™s diversity is also mentioned in the magazineā€™s school profile, which mentions °µĶųTV studentsā€™ first graduation celebration for Black students this year.</p> <h3><a href="/news/u-t-s-first-black-grad-celebration-won-t-be-last-say-organizers">Read about Black graduation at °µĶųTV</a></h3> <h3><a href="/news/u-t-world-s-top-public-university-fourth-overall-national-taiwan-university-ranking">Read about °µĶųTV's ranking based on research</a></h3> <p>The profile also cited °µĶųTVā€™s research-intensive approach, and its high rankings as Canadaā€™s top university.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-home-page-banner field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">News home page banner</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Wed, 18 Oct 2017 17:05:45 +0000 rasbachn 119354 at
