Explore the realm of generative AI in international higher education by downloading the first instalment of our 3-part series. This light-hearted approach provides insights into how AI transforms international enrolment management, education abroad, and student services.

The guide explores how higher education institutions use data and AI to enhance student support and engagement, featuring examples from a Chronicle case study. It highlights personalized outreach, streamlined enrollment processes, and individualized support through CRM software. Additionally, it underscores AI’s role in analyzing data and predicting student engagement, ultimately strengthening institution-student connections.
