Common learning issues and support for international students at UWE Bristol

Coryat, Amy; Mace, Anna

Abstract

This report shares the results of a research project that explored international students' views on common learning issues and the support provided at UWE Bristol. The project included sessions to raise awareness and individual interviews that focused on neurodiversity and mental health. Key findings indicate a significant lack of knowledge about neurodiversity and cultural stigma surrounding mental health issues among international students. Despite the study's limited sample size, the results align with existing expectations and highlight the need for improved support services. Recommendations include increasing awareness, enhancing communication, addressing language barriers, promoting social integration, and providing tailored support services.
