About this book

Foreign students have travelled to Britain for centuries and, from the beginning, attracted controversy. This book explores changing British policy and practice, and changing student experience, set within the context of British social and political history.

Reviews

“Hilary Perraton is ideally qualified to write this survey of foreign students and their experience in Britain, after a career in education in the Commonwealth and organisations involved with student exchanges and scholarships. … it is an important scholarly achievement that will be the essential starting-point for further work on the subject.” (Robert Anderson, History of Education, January, 2017)
