About the author

Dr. Rosemary Reynolds worked as a centre coordinator in a university research centre for international students studying higher education and management, before completing a PhD in Education at the Institute of Education, University of Reading in 2015.

Summary

Chinese students in the UK have been increasing in number for many years, yet competition from other Western educators and increasing investment in China’s own education system has led to concern that UK institutions may soon see a decline in their market share.

Additional text

Rosemary Reynolds offers a comprehensive, sensitive and detailed exploration of the experiences and hopes of the young Chinese students she studied; offering an insightful account of their educational experiences in the UK. The hopes and ambitions of the families of these young people, the challenges of navigating an educational system that is often complex and challenging, as well as their own dreams and aspirations, are all thoughtfully and comprehensively considered. This book therefore offers an interesting window into an under explored area.
Dr Carol Fuller, The University of Reading.
