Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

This paper is the result of the author’s long standing interest in the social and academic experiences of international students, and brings together the outcomes of three small studies which have been conducted in the last four years. The overall research aim of this paper is to explore the question if students in diverse student groups seek and want academic and social integration. More detailed research objectives include an attempt to establish if academic and social integration fostered by the institution is beneficial; how such integration can be best achieved, and finally, which barriers need to be overcome to address challenges in this area.
