Abstract
This poster will focus on the challenges international students experience in first year, and beyond, during the transition from their home to Ireland. This question is informed by my research (2018) which investigated the experiences of Oman students in IoT Carlow. I undertook this study as part fulfillment for my MA in Teaching and Learning. This study followed my PhD (2017) research which was designed and carried out in order to examine the socio cultural experiences of international students in higher education in Ireland.
With a growing cohort of Omani students in IoT Carlow and an area that was greatly under researched I wanted to delve further into a topic I had touched on during my PhD study - I wanted to investigate further the concept that students further away from their home experienced a more stressful transition.
