Christopher Broadhurst

My team and I are responsible for changing lives and opening doors to some of the best global universities, so the expertise we have to deliver is with the utmost integrity to ensure students are successful in their futures.

As Global Student Recruitment Director for Schools and Colleges, Chris is responsible for the quantity and quality of international students at Oxford Sixth Form College and d’Overbroeck’s. Chris has over 14 years of experience in international education recruitment. He is a dedicated and passionate advocate of the UK independent school and college sector.

Chris has previously held senior management positions at Bell Educational Trust, Cambridge Education Group and Astrum Education where he took responsibility for international students at three leading London independent schools. He has a tremendous track record for delivering growth in the quantity and quality of students for UK independent schools.

His keen interest in international education began much earlier during his time as a university student in Oxford, where Chris studied Marketing Management combined with French Language and Contemporary Studies at Oxford Brookes University. His degree course included a year in France studying Economics and Management at l’Université Nice Sophia Antipolis and it was his own experience as an international student which was a significant influence on his pursuit of a career in the sector.

During his career, Chris has focused on ensuring that UK and international students join the right school on the programme to ensure the best possible outcome for the individual. As a result the majority of those students have progressed onto the UK’s leading institutions such as Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial, UCL, LSE and many more besides.

Chris and his wife Adisa are parents to their young daughters Anna and Emilia. Outside of work, most of Chris’s time is spent doting on the aforementioned ladies and trying to stay in shape through his obsession for CrossFit.
