All Things Mental Health

International experience: change and identity away from home

All Things Mental Health Season 5 Episode 5

Our final episode comes from International students, Bertha and Oluwa who speak about their experiences of moving to the U.K. to study abroad. Each student faces different challenges but unite in the rewards they have experienced. They explore how their identities interact with their everyday experiences. Change is a constant thread throughout this episode, exploring the fear of the unknown and adapting to a new system. They conclude this series by pointing to ways in which Universities can better support International students as soon as they start to transition from home to the U.K., throughout their studies and after graduation.
