"Written by experts in the field, it is organised around important aspects of life as an international student. It will help you with understanding your lecturers, participating in tutorials and improving your academic English skills. It also explores what is different about studying overseas, what lecturers expect from you and what their feedback means. Finally, this book gives advice in a user-friendly layout on practical, financial and social topics, dealing with application letters, scholarships and how to make friends in a new country. It is built around a wealth of practical activities that give you hands-on practice to ensure your overseas study will be a success."--BOOK JACKET.
