<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOutline<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This forum aims to discuss the local resources, good practices and challenges when supporting Chinese (and other) international students, in response to the recently published HEPI Report “How can UK universities improve their strategies for tackling integration challenges among Chinese students?“<\/strong><\/em> (Ebel, 2024). This report raises critical questions about whether Chinese students receive adequate support in UK universities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As one of the UK\u2019s leading institutions for international students, Queen\u2019s University Belfast is committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for Chinese and other international students. Jointly organised by QBS DEIB Committee<\/a> and The Language Centre<\/a>, supported by QUB iRise Network<\/a>, we particularly welcome colleagues from different sectors with good experiences of supporting Chinese students to attend the discussions. Based on the voices from staff and students at the forum, we hope to identity approaches that would enhance the level of support at Queen\u2019s University Belfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
