International experience and graduate employability: Perceptions of Chinese international students in the UK

A review of relevant literature regarding international students and also employability shows that there is a little research on international student mobility, careers intention and their approaches to manage employability. This research interviews Chinese students who are currently studying tourism related programmes in a post-1992 university in the UK. It attempts to understand their initial motivation for studying abroad, and the importance of future career developments in that decision. It also discusses the Chinese students' planning of future career and their approaches to enhance their future employability capabilities at one higher education institution in the United Kingdom.
