The global higher education landscape has dramatically changed in the past few months due to the spread of the coronavirus (otherwise known as [Coronavirus Disease 2019] COVID-19). To inform and support the higher education sector, QS established ongoing surveys to take the pulse of prospective international students and higher education institutions throughout this crisis. Our prospective international student survey has attracted approximately 11,000 respondents since it was established in mid-February. In this white paper, we'll explore the findings of this survey and showcase how these responses have shifted over time as the coronavirus continues. An accompanying survey that targeted higher education professionals in universities across the globe has attracted more than 400 respondents. We'll explore these findings, including the impact on student recruitment, online learning offerings, campus management, and a range of other areas.
