Duty of care to international
and EAL students
Because students should feel connected and supported, wherever they are.
Students studying offshore face very different challenges.
Fortunately, more universities are ensuring international students have timely, all-hours study support to help bridge that gap and build a critical sense of belonging.

Welhelmus - a social worker in Indonesia
"I quickly learned that the universities here treat their students, and particularly international students, with a lot of support and services. The quality of the experience was very high - not only were we supported and listened to around how to get the most from our academic experiences, we also always had 24/7 online support and help developing our English language and writing skills."

"Also in my language we use different types of tenses, not ‘simple, present, past’, so I often miss using the correct tense - it just doesn’t occur to me. But Studiosity reminds me and now I’m getting better at recognising that in my own work. I keep improving and I can feel it now, like I think I'm a lot better at that. And they always give us the reason, so for me, I'm really learning a lot in terms of improving my English through Studiosity."
