Video collection

Below you will find a collection of videos featuring students sharing their different perspectives and advice around the broad theme of engaging and supporting international students in their higher education learning journey.

These videos are targeted at domestic students and academics who teach Chinese international students, to help them better understand the Chinese international student cohort and the inherent differences between the education systems and cultures in Australia and China that impact on academic performance and behaviours. The “talking heads” in the videos are current UG or PG Chinese students.

Please visit "Advice from USyd academics to Chinese international students" to learn more about our staff's advice to students.
