OI Global Hubs Expansion and Partner Engagement 

OI Global Hubs Expansion and Partner Engagement 

We are delighted to share continued growth across the OI Global Hubs network, with our newest centres now fully operational.

This winter, first student cohorts commenced in Abuja, Rawalpindi and Lahore, marking an important milestone in our global expansion strategy. Early engagement levels have been strong, with these centres already supporting students on pathway programmes and strengthening local access to international education opportunities.

Alongside our physical hub growth, several new online International Foundation Programme (IFP) cohorts have launched, bringing together students from East Asia, the Middle East and Africa. This blended expansion, combining in-country hubs with high-quality online delivery, reflects OIDI’s commitment to widening participation and providing flexible progression routes to our university partners.

Upcoming Hub Launches

Looking ahead to spring, we are preparing for the official openings of:

  • Mombasa
  • Lagos
  • Ibadan
  • Gujranwala
  • Chiang Mai

We look forward to sharing further updates as these centres formally launch and begin welcoming their first students.

Events and Partner Engagement

Over the winter period, our Global Hubs delivered a series of well-attended, university-facing webinars, with sessions hosted by teams in Abuja, Port Harcourt, Rawalpindi and Ibadan.

Attendance has consistently ranged between 50–80 students per session, demonstrating continued appetite for direct engagement with our partner institutions and clear demand for structured progression pathways.

The OIDI Partnerships Team welcomes opportunities to:

  • Co-host upcoming webinars
  • Facilitate in-country university visits to our Global Hubs
  • Support wider recruitment and conversion activity

Meet Us at The PIE Live Europe

The PIE Live Europe will take place on 24–25 March in London, and we are pleased to confirm that Brittany Hopkins, Global Hubs Partnership Manager, will be attending alongside the OIDI Partnerships Team.

We would be delighted to connect with you to discuss how our expanding Global Hubs network can further support your recruitment objectives and international growth strategy.
