Abstract
There is a wealth of evidence to demonstrate that disabled domestic students experience discrimination in Higher Education (HE), yet little is known about the specific experiences of disabled international students. This acute shortage of available data and literature regarding disabled international students’ accounts of studying in the United Kingdom (UK) is particularly significant due to the increasing internationalisation of HE in recent years.
