International Student Perspectives: Taiwan and the UAE In a companion type piece to last week’s look at international student mobility in Australia, today we asked students to reflect on their experiences with and at university. This episode of the Think Education podcast includes reflections from postgraduate students from the College of Education at National Chengchi University (Taiwan) and the Faculty of Education at the British University in Dubai (UAE). We talked about what they hope and hoped to get out of their journey in higher education.  We asked them about their reflections on the role and purpose of a university.  We talked about community engagement and the profile of a university in the community itself. We asked them to reflect on the future of international higher education, and they gave some advice on navigating presenting at international conferences.  We talked about imposter syndrome and how it never really goes away. Their reflections are positive and insightful – and not always what you might expect. I even took the opportunity to ask what their collective noun for a group of academics would be.  The best one didn’t make the recording as it was offered afterwards – ‘an echo chamber’.   #studentperspectives #reflectionsoneducation #highereducation #internationalstudents #mobility #research #nccu #BUID #studentpresentations #researchcontribution #impostersyndrome
