The prevailing picture of intercultural adaptation among international student sojourners features a reified process of overcoming culture shock or culture-related stress and anxiety. In the context of increasing recruitment of Chinese students by German higher education institutions, there has been a growing interest in understanding Chinese students' intercultural adaptation experiences, and in exploring approaches that can be adopted by Chinese and German higher education to support these sojourners' learning experience. Drawing on a six-month mixed-methods study of 84 Chinese students attending German universities, researchers explored their intercultural experience regarding psychological, sociocultural, and educational aspects to university life. The challenges faced by these students are discussed in terms of psychological, sociocultural, and educational adaptations.

A diverse cultural presence on campus, political rankling among liberals and conservative, and media reprots of campus activism prevent higher education administrators from ignoring the current national debate concerning multiculturalism. College and university administrators, particularly in the area of student affairs, have taken the lead to bring the issue front and center in university life.

Organisational Practice

Higher Education (HE) is a force for good and graduating students can expect to receive higher life time earnings as well as a range of other positive outcomes. Due to this the global HE sector is rapidly expanding and university administrators are starting to explore the benefits of aligning organisational practice with market principles. The embrace of such a consumer philosophy has many advantages as well as several significant disadvantages. Here, we consider the cause and effects of large scale marketisation of HE as well as effective frameworks for the application of a consumer-based narrative on the day to day running of a university. Using the United Kingdom’s HE sector as a case example we then consider the effects of performance based funding mechanisms such as the Research Excellence Framework (REF) as well as its younger cousin the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) and how excellence in both performance measures can provide a competitive based sector as well as ensure that students are placed front and centre of the culture of a thriving university. We conclude by suggesting a possible model for organisational practice that borrows from both market and non-market practice. This hybrid model for HE ensures that a university can benefit from the significant benefits of a competitive market environment as well as enjoy the protections of regulatory oversight.

Quality In Higher Education

This article investigates the views of quality in higher education held by two groups of international students: Chinese students at a Danish university and Danish students at Chinese universities. Given that there are no agreed international 'quality standards' in higher education, we analysed the students' understanding of the 'quality values' of their host institution and their own preferences and priorities. Representatives of the two groups participated in an interview study addressing the experience of academic quality at their study-abroad university. An intriguing trend was identified in the data. Danish students felt confident that they themselves were able to judge the academic quality of programmes, classes and lecturers both at home and abroad. The participating Chinese students tended to express themselves in slightly depreciatory terms regarding the academic quality values of their home universities. Regarding research methods and theoretical knowledge, they adopted the quality values of the Danish host university and referred to these values when evaluating their home universities.

Higher Education Experiences

Using academic capitalism as a theoretical foundation, this phenomenological study examined the new study abroad experiences of Chinese college students in six popular English-speaking study destination countries—the U.S., the U.K., Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, and Singapore. Qualitative data collected from 20 interviews indicate some hosting higher education institutions prioritize enrollment growth and neglect recruitment process and student development. Three main findings are 1) delegating recruitment to overseas agencies causes mismatches between host institutions and the Chinese students, 2) Chinese students having insufficient language skills are prone to have a dissatisfied study abroad experience, and 3) high density of student population from one country impedes Chinese students’ integration on campus. Implications for higher educational professionals, students, and faculty are presented.
