What’s next for admissions in the North America higher education sector?

À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ English has set up a new expert Admissions Council with the higher education sector in the US and Canada. Our aim is simple: to listen, learn, and develop our support for institutions in the sector.

The Admissions Council will meet regularly to discuss the latest thinking, challenges and opportunities in the sector, whether that is the challenges posed by the pandemic, the recruitment challenges faced by admissions officers, or how to grow opportunities for ambitious students as a study destination. Here are a few updates about what we will be doing in 2022.

We will listen to diverse voices

Our council members bring a wealth of expertise in the areas of student recruitment, admissions, international education and student support. They represent diverse higher education institutions in the US and Canada, including California State University – Northridge, Columbia University – School of International and Public Affairs, John Hopkins University, The Juilliard School in performing arts education, Seneca College, Wellesley College, and the University of Alberta.

Meet our expert council members

We will understand what matters to you

The council is an excellent opportunity to have important discussions within the sector. We want to hear what is important to institutions in the sector and the topics so far have ranged from the importance of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, to the top recruitment challenges for admissions officers.

Tell us what matters to you

We will share best practice

As a trusted partner, we work closely with universities, governments, and employers around the world to share best practice in language testing and maximise positive impact by connecting educational experts.

You can get all our latest news and updates by signing up to our dedicated .

We will help you select the right students for your courses

The work of the council builds on decades of cutting-edge research to ensure our qualifications are fit for purpose, reliable, and secure. Our qualifications are carefully designed to focus on the right skills for higher education and this means better retention rates for institutions and better employment opportunities for students.

We are committed to widening access and helping institutions to select the right students, regardless of background. Our exams are the first choice for schools around the world – millions of students have already achieved the English skills they need and do not need to undertake another assessment for their application.

You can diversify your student population and reach high-quality applicants, simply by accepting our qualifications.

Their other scores are unaffected and they won’t have to retake the other three sections. Linguaskill’s flexibility benefits institutions and employers, too. Let’s take a look.
