We didn’t become experts overnight.


It was 1987. Things were different back then. There was big hair, dirty dancing, and George Michael gave us all faith. Just over 1 million students were studying overseas and as the appetite for studying abroad blossomed, a fledgling firm called BMI was born.​
A lot has changed since then, but one thing that hasn’t is our commitment to connecting students and institutions, encouraging them to explore a world beyond their shores and thereby enabling institutions to grow and diversify their enrolments.​
​

These are connections that count.
BMI has built up 30+ years’ worth of relationships with industry associations and national government-supported education agencies such as the British Council, Education USA, EduCanada, Campus France, DAAD, Education Ireland and more.

Many of these organisations have launched their brands at BMI events and selected BMI to organise events on their behalf or as partners, such as the official EU-focused EuroPosgrados (Colombia and Chile) and EuroPos (Brazil) events on behalf of DAAD, Campus France and NUFFIC.
​
We are also regularly invited to speak at global education conferences about international student recruitment strategies, working with agents, enrolment trends and student expectations from key source markets around the world.
