Title: The induction of international students to academic life in the United Kingdom

I. During induction, international students are obliged to accommodate a much greater number of changes than home students. There are many specific welfare factors which have to be dealt with before serious studies can begin. It is now generally the case that British institutions of higher learning have developed fairly effective orientation programmes.

II. It is therefore necessary to consider ways in which the academic welfare of international students can be improved during the period of induction. The meaning, significance and value of pre-course assessments of English language ability are first discussed. Ways in which international students should be introduced to the use of university learning resources (e.g., laboratories, libraries, computers) are then considered.

III. International students are taken to be undergraduates or postgraduates who normally reside outside the UK but who undertaken tertiary level education there. Home students are those who have been normally resident with the UK before going to university.

IV. It is assumed that international students primarily travel to Britain in order to benefit from courses and study opportunities which are not available in their own countries. In addition, as Makepeace (1989) suggests, there may also be a desire to obtain internationally recognised qualifications in order to enhance future personal prospects.
