Keeping up to date

The external environment is dynamic: economic turbulence; political conflicts and natural disasters make the headlines on a regular basis. Immigration legislation, and its impact on students, is a hot topic in a number of countries, not just in the UK.

It is important to keep up to date with changes in the UK (and how these changes are reported overseas) and with developments in other countries.

You can do this in a number of ways eg

• receiving email newsletters from organisations listed in the column opposite and in final section;
• monitoring news on websites and via social media: options include RSS* feeds; social media eg Twitter; social networking sites eg LinkedIn;
• signing up for Google alerts
