Language issues and academic study of UK overseas students

The aim of the project is:
1. To investigate whether lower satisfaction level in academic experiences of particular group of overseas students is related to the language issues
2. To gain information about the different impact of language issues on the academic experiences of overseas students studying in Higher Education in UK.
3. To identify areas where institutions could improve the experience of particular groups of overseas students in needs through more appropriate support, better information and preparation, or other means. The survey's findings will be intended to help identify different experiences as well as ways of meeting a diversity of needs.
