Description
This is an interactive workshop to help international students maximise their grades whilst navigating the cultural transition from their home countries to the UK (UWE Bristol). The session is deliberately interactive and engaging, so as to encourage the students to question, think for themselves, and start on the right foot – the earlier the better.
Their new journey of discovery comes with numerous challenges, particularly academic a d the way we learn in the UK. Our intervention, at this early stage, aims to mitigate and help them better prepare for the ‘culture shock’ they are bound to encounter over the course of their time with us – whether they are PG or UG students.
Our expertise, cultural intelligence, and experience is on-hand to support them through their respective journeys with us.
