My Project

Background

Universities in Britain are a magnet for overseas students. There are currently 200,000 from outside Britain studying in British universities. The majority are Chinese students over the UK, they are currently 50.000.The British government expects the total number of overseas students to be around 900,000 by 2020, and quarter of these will be Chinese.
But why is UK such a popular destination for international university students?
The one of big factors is that Britain over the many centuries has been considered as a centre of global education. Britain’s universities are famous with their quality of providing courses, which are in very high level. Education system in this country is very flexible in order to provide for the needs of a modern, complex society, and the main factor is that your course is officially approved and has wide international recognition.

Aim.
The purpose of our research is to scour and find out how are these huge numbers of international students coping with Britain’s environment
How is it being international student in London, living in one of the biggest cities in the world, a way from family and friends?
what was their first expressions from, and the views on future.
As it was maintained the majority of international students are Chinese, and we know that this country got very different culture.

Preparing for further study , Reading.
After introduction to University's wed side, I had found my course in a wed side and modules as well. I've emailed to my course lieder Mr.Rughoo already for the further interview" if its possible".
Any advice from him would be very useful, such as which books are most important for me to read, as a processional student, and I hope to hear from him soon.
However from bibliography of my first module "Creative and Reflective Business" Practice" I've chose a Business Student's Handbook, which was the first recommended book for this module.
