Abstract

The international recruitment team will be running a session that highlights the many challenges international students face when applying to universities in the UK and how best the LJMU community can help meet the expectations of international students and signpost appropriately.   Translated documents, exchange rate, language barriers, visas are amongst the few hurdles that exist for students looking to study in the UK. To help colleagues better understand the various challenges faced when choosing to study abroad, current international students will present their own journeys during this session with the support of the recruitment team.  

 

This session will not only highlight the current lengthy procedures and obstacles but also help you understand what you can do in the future to help support international students at LJMU.
