Abstract

Black international students bring a wealth of cultural diversity and new perspectives to UK universities. However, they often face specific digital and cultural barriers that can hinder their academic and social integration. To address these challenges, UK institutions must implement targeted pre-arrival and on-arrival support strategies to ensure that these students are well prepared and supported from the moment they decide to study in the UK. This article explores the digital and cultural barriers faced by Black international students and highlights effective pre-arrival and on-arrival support initiatives.
