Building on Experience: Meeting the Needs of Chinese Students in British Higher Education

Abstract

The findings reported in this chapter grew out of a research seminar involving representatives from a wide range of British universities whose experience encompassed both teaching and pastoral support. The aim was to explore issues in providing effective higher education for students from the People’s Republic of China and to disseminate information on good practice in institutions across the UK. Participants — both British and Chinese — were divided into two focus groups, one of which concentrated on issues related to study, the other on pastoral concerns. Discussion emphasises the need for greater cultural awareness on the part of both British staff and Chinese students and the strategies likely to lead to more satisfactory outcomes in both pastoral and academic areas. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
