The Surviving and Succeeding book series was born when a group of postgraduate students considered what advice they would give to prospective students. They realised many of the key lessons they learned about navigating the realities of postgraduate study were not covered in the majority of postgraduate advice books, but came through lived experience and discussions with colleagues. Following editions across the world, this book includes advice from 23 present and former postgraduate students from UK universities. Through lived experience they discuss an extensive range of issues including: practical considerations during study, how to cope when not following a 'traditional' route, how to manage and maintain relationships and family responsibilities, and how to find your feet in a different cultural setting. Every postgraduate student's journey is unique, however, the majority of students will face barriers, either personal or structural, over the course of their studies. Students discuss their experiences in a personal and relatable way, and the overall message is one of optimism that students can survive and succeed in their postgraduate studies.

This paper reports on a study of the international postgraduate student experience in a United Kingdom (UK) university, using a case study approach. Looking at both the academic and non academic experience of students in the university, the paper attempts to identify differences in perceptions of staff and students on key issues related to the international student experience. The limited sample of this study is compensated for by the quality and depth of data obtained from in-depth interviews with students and staff in one UK university. Results indicate significant convergence of perceptions in relation to the quality of education in the UK though the issues of cultural integration, English language and inadequate student support and the serious threat these issues pose to the quality of experience for students. The paper identifies five key gaps in the way staff and students conceptualise the postgraduate student experience and concludes with suggestions for how management might ...
