Advance HE Teaching & Learning Conference 2018: Teaching excellence as a tool to better assimilate international students: Lessons learned from Greek students

This session focuses on lessons learned from Greek students who pursue further studies in the UK. According to UKCISA Greece is the 5th largest European country sending students to the UK. Real case studies are used to assess how the cultural diversity and the global identity of the students together with their experience have affected their academic progress through HE in the UK. A comparison is attempted between the student learning experience in the two countries and their learning frameworks. The session concludes with recommendations on how teaching excellence can be used as a tool to better assimilate international students.
