Abstract
As our postgraduate taught provision in the School grows, so has our need to have more formalised support for these students. There’s an assumption PGT students have the experience to manage the transition. However, we know that postgraduate study can also be challenging, stressful and isolating with high levels of stress, poor mental health and fatigue. Additionally, international students coming to the UK for PGT study can experience culture shock, language shock and academic shock which negatively impacts self-esteem. We're seeing international students arrive late, missing key induction activities. In January 2023 a pilot Buddying scheme was launched to support our new PGT students. This was extended in September 2023 and evaluated.
