“Does study abroad or international education automatically contribute to the
development of intercultural competence? Which factors affect the outcomes of
international education? What particular intercultural experiences can international
students expect from study abroad in Chinese universities? If you are interested in
these and many other questions regarding the latest advances in the field of interculturality
and study abroad, you will find the reading of this gap-filling research
highly intriguing and rewarding.”

“What should those who choose to study in Chinese higher education expect to
gain? Knowledge of a different world or finding a new ‘me’? This book deals with
these questions from varied and valuable insights, and in illuminating ways. If
the true meaning of learning is “not to convince but to be thought-provoking”,
then this book achieves this perfectly.”
—Juan Hu, Renmin University of China, China
