Diplomová práce

Anotace:

Study of the integration and adjustment of international students took a weighty attention of researchers in the past and especially nowadays in the time of globalization and internationalization. Since education system getting more internationalized, more students get an opportunity to study abroad. Study abroad gives students great chance to see the world and learn new. At the same time it makes them to meet many challenges on the way. Many years scholars seeking and trying to find out what challenges meet international students and what factors can help them to go through. For me it is also very interesting to understand how international students adjust to the new surroundings and what obstacles they experience.
