Benchmarking the provision of services for international students in further education institutions
July 2008
This analysis of the range and extent of services specifically designed for international students in the UK’s FE colleges is a successor to last year’s similar report on HE provision. It enables the FE sector as a whole to consider the level of services currently provided, and allows individual institutions to compare their performance against others, to see whether and where improvements might be made.

Understanding the UK student response to internationalisation
University of the West of England and Bournemouth University
Traditionally international student views have been sought in attempts to understand patterns of interaction and integration. Although globally some studies of domestic students do exist, there is little research into the views and attitudes of UK students.
