For this reason, it is necessary to investigate what factors influence prospective students in determining tertiary institutions. This study reveals that the most influencing factors for prospective students in determining academic institutions are the ease of getting a job after graduation, followed by some other supporting factors, such as: scholarships, campus reputation, spiritual activities, and campus lifestyle.

The aim of this paper is to investigate whether polytechnics should rely solely on international agents to recruit international students or not. To analyse the use of agents to recruit international students by tertiary institutions in New Zealand, this study attempts to find effectiveness and shortcomings of using international agents as a marketing strategy in recruiting international students. Though marketing strategies of marketing higher education is not new to the Anglo-Saxon countries (UK, US, and Australia), however, such marketing strategies of tertiary institutions in New Zealand have not been examined empirically. Deductive method of research was adopted and a total of 150 international students who studied at undergraduate and postgraduate level in a polytechnic in the Bay of Plenty in New Zealand participated in the research. The empirical findings of the research suggest that most international students relied on international agents for visa application and for enrolment process. A significant concern that a large proportion of the international students pointed to is the information mismatch between the promises by the agents and the reality that the international students faced here in New Zealand. It is suggested that relying solely on international agents to recruit international students might not be a sustainable marketing strategy for the tertiary institutions and other marketing strategies needs to be explored as well. Several policy implications in marketing strategy of higher education are also suggested in this study.

High school alumni of the same level often experience difficulties in determining universities to continue their studies. The selection of tertiary institutions for equivalent high school alumni is constrained only by listening to talk, even often because of following friends. This is because there are so many types of criteria from universities that eventually make prospective students confused and choose without consideration. The selection of higher education institutions should be adjusted between the criteria of higher education and the needs and abilities of prospective students. This study uses an experimental model regarding the selection system of higher education selection decisions using the TOPSIS method. The purpose of this study is to help prospective students in the selection of universities to continue their studies. 7 criteria were obtained including Cost (BY) obtained from tuition fees, Accreditation Value (NA) obtained from the value of college accreditation, Achievement (PS) obtained from academic and non academic achievements, Lecturer Education (PD) obtained from education lecturers, facilities (FS) obtained from available facilities, scholarships (BS) obtained from scholarships at tertiary institutions and UKM (UK) obtained from student activity units available at the college. The results of this study can meet the objectives because the results of calculations can be faster in producing information that can help prospective students in choosing a college.

AbstractPublic trust in universities appears to be decreasing. In this age of “fake news” and even “fake science”, the esteem of academic institutions is diminishing. In the eyes of the general public, universities may still be respectable institutions, but they are also seen to be relatively self-centred and to have an insatiable hunger for (public) resources. Furthermore, doubts are being raised about the self-organising capacities of autonomous academic institutions to assure and protect the quality, relevance and efficiency of their activities. Stakeholders ask for more information about costs and benefits. And for greater accountability. There are several reasons underlying this growing demand for information and accountability. First, the financial contributions made by students, taxpayers and others to higher education are rising. Second, the increasing number and variety of providers of higher education and the (degree and non-degree) programmes they offer makes it increasingly difficult for (prospective) students to decide where and what to study. Similarly, employers and governments wish to be assured that higher education providers deliver the quality education and research services that are needed for their labour markets, their businesses, and their communities.
