“…In a globalised world where until recently (Covid-19) students were free to pursue ISM there has been rapid growth in the competition for academic qualifications and educational experiences that could not have been gained at a home university.

In this paper, I develop the idea of cosmopolitan stancesone 'intellectual' and the other 'aesthetic'to examine conceptions of cosmopolitanism within a range of university strategies. Recent research into cosmopolitanism has adopted a Bourdieusian lens, understanding it as cultural capital, which acts as a locus of stratification in the global system. By examining the strategies in 11 London-based universities, this paper sought to identify which cosmopolitan stances are mobilised. Following a thematic analysis this paper argues that those stances privileged by the global middle class are often implicit and generated incidentally as a function of other initiatives such as inclusivity and diversity, global citizenship, placement opportunities and graduate attributes/outcomes.
