International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) | Exchange Programs. (Pat Cryer) How to Succeed as an 'Overseas' / 'International' Research Student. Students working away from their home countries often face challenges that 'home' students do not. This page considers three such challenges which often seem particularly daunting. How funding can affect progress If your funding comes from your own country, you need to be aware that it can be cripplingly expensive for your funding body. Not only are fees so much higher for overseas students, but also the exchange rate may not be favourable. Consequently funding bodies require and demand value for money.

Funding for three or (in some cases) four years may seem a comfortable deal at the outset, but students will need to hit the ground running to be sure that all aspects of the work are completed before the money runs out. Only in very special circumstances and with a great deal of paperwork will funding be extended. How the expectations of people at home can affect progress Also keep alert to a fall-back position. Cultural issues International students may face another significant challenge. ⚫ USA. US-UK Fulbright Commission. Fulbright Police Research Fellowships | Awards and Programmes for UK Citizens.
