The Provision of Induction Activities for Imperial College London’s Collaborative PhD Students


Helen Challis

Abstract

This paper reviews the induction experiences of Imperial College London’s current international collaborative PhD students. This is a relatively small group of students, but one with unique needs, given the dual international locations of their PhD research. Using data collected from current collaborative PhD students, this paper reflects upon both the significance of university induction for international students, and, at a more practical level, the form and content of a successful induction process.

Enhancing the International Advisory Service at the University of Edinburgh


Kim Pearson


Abstract


The University of Edinburgh has a long- standing reputation as a globally recognized institution; having been at the forefront of international education since its founding in 1583. In recent years the University has striven to retain a strong position in the global arena, in terms of research, quality and accessibility of education and overall international influence. The University’s internationalization strategy sets out a plan to maintain the institution’s global standing, but also proposes a number of long-term aims. These include increasing the number of international students as well as facilitating globalization by embedding it in the ethos of the institution; something which is certainly of crucial importance in today’s multinational society (University of Edinburgh, 2009).
