Hello again Tamara,
Thank you for posting this question addressed to my attention. This
was a tough search because it’s hard to backtrack from the receiving
UK schools to the foreign schools and students they get from various
countries. After extensive searching I think I’ve found some key sites
that should help you make connections to market your services.
There are two ways to approach this. The first option is to identify
UK schools that offer programs for foreign students. The schools I
identified in my prior research on US foreign students can also be
used for prospecting for German (or any other) foreign students. If
you could make a successful partnership with these schools, they would
refer their students to you without you having to find the sending
school. Alternately, they could share with you the names of the
schools and you could contact live prospects.
The second option is to identify German schools that have study abroad
programs in the UK so that you could market your services to these
schools/students as they look for accommodations while abroad. I found
a wonderful site that gives you a searchable database of German higher
educational institutions as well as the foreign schools that German
students have attended. Both of these directories link you to a school
profile with contact information that frequently also includes a link
to the school’s website. You could use these directories to identify
schools for your marketing campaigns.
The tip from politicalguru-ga about the ERASMUS program is excellent.
I’ve included detailed information for you so you can explore what
it’s about. It’s main purpose is to encourage learning exchange
programs throughout Europe with as little red tape as possible.
I’ve only researched German schools. I have some understanding of
German so I was able to evaluate the German sites I found. The
research took so long that I didn’t have the time to look for Spanish
schools. I suggest that you post this as a separate question. That way
a Researcher who is proficient in Spanish will be able to do a better
search for you.
This was a challenging project. I hope that you will find the
information useful. Please ask for clarification before rating my
answer if any of this material isn’t clear.
Good luck with you project.
