The internationalisation of higher education has led to study
abroad being a large scale phenomenon. Students spend short periods
on study tours or a year or more taking courses in foreign
universities. Studying aboard cannot be dissociated however from
learning to live in another country and culture. The need to adapt
to a new education system is obvious but the inevitable
difficulties of living in another culture for the purpose of study
are also an important facet of the whole experience. Chapters in
this book report research into this whole phenomenon. Authors have
researched students travelling across the world, from East to West
and West to East, and also the effects of studying in countries
which seem to be more like students' own. Each chapter explains the
case in question, the findings from the research and what the
implications might be. The second part of each chapter is then a
critical reflection on the research methods used. The book thus
provides a guide to the complexity of this kind of research and how
that complexity can be handled with appropriate techniques and
methods.
