Dear Colleagues,
I am carrying out research into the experiences of International student(s) within Higher Education in the UK, in relation to Disability disclosure, Induction processes, Disability Needs assessment processes and the teaching style and attitudes of academic staff. This research is being conducted as part of a PhD study at Queens University, Belfast. I intend to carry out qualitative research in the form of face to face interviews with International students who believe they have a disability whether or not they have declared this to their University Disability Support Services. I also intend to interview University Staff who work directly with these students in Disability services and the International Student Office. This project has been approved by the Ethics committee at Queens University, Belfast.
At this stage of the project, I would only like to collect expressions of interest in the study.
Please note that participation is entirely voluntary and you may withdraw from the research at any time. Data is being collected anonymously and will be stored for five years in electronic format before being destroyed. No identifying information will be collected which means that, once the interview is completed and data submitted, it will not be possible to withdraw from the research project. All records containing personal information will remain confidential and no information which could lead to identification of any individual will be released, unless required by law.
If you have any questions or comments about the project or if you would like to take part, please feel free to contact me directly at: [log in to unmask]
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards
Anne Rowan
