From the article:
"West African students have been travelling to study in the UK since the 1700s. Yet there’s limited research into the experiences of students in British institutions and how they adjust to life and learn in Britain.

I examine their reasons for studying in Britain, how they adapted to teaching and learning and how far these factors enhanced or undermined their education."
