"..The book is a source of deep information for all professionals dealing with higher education institutions abroad. It not only helps us to understand what might await the student at a university abroad; it also offers an idea of what students coming from abroad experience in their studies and what expectations they have in respect to the hosting university. Therefore, it is an important resource for teaching staff, in order to be prepared to support international students and understand their expectations." - Hannah Leichsenring, CHE Consult, in Widening Participation and Lifelong Learning
