Use of agents in recruiting international students since 2018
Dear Glasgow Caledonian University,
Since the 2018 academic year what percentage of your international students have used a agent to apply to the University per year?
Is there any countries where you require students to use agents rather than apply directly?
Yours faithfully,
Abdul Hai
