Globalisation of Higher Education: Perspectives on UK Higher Education

This book explores the debate on globalisation of higher education with a particular focus on British Higher Education Institutions (HEIS). Using the narratives and experiences of international students, the book interrogates the policy framework and nuances in the packaging and delivery of higher education in the UK. The book reveals that on face value, the British higher education appears to be well structured and articulated seeking to provide a "world class" educational system, but there are areas of constraints: learning support for those in need of English, immigration and visa services in the light an emerging stringent policy, and social and welfare support services for students and their families, among others
