ABSTRACT
Following a global trend, what is termed ‘home’ and ‘international’ student diers across countries, and in many ways does not reect the real experience of higher education for large numbers of students. Across various countries dierences in class, ethnic origin, religion, rst language or gender play a much larger role. Many of the challenges of educational epistemological backgrounds and frameworks that traditionally arise in the context of international students are signicant issues for many home students as well. While taking a broad perspective, we acknowledge that discourses that homogenise student experiences are not useful, and in the book each chapter explores aspects of ‘the global student experience’ in individual and unique ways.
