Adjustment Issues of International Students in the Czech Republic: Prevailing Social Conditions and Financial Challenges

The inflow of international students into the Czech Republic has significantly increased over the past decade, contributing to the country's cultural diversity and academic richness. However, these students experience various forms of challenges as they adjust to life in a new environment. This paper explores the adjustment experiences of international students in the Czech Republic, focusing on roles of financial stability, the prevailing social conditions in their adjustment and inclination to complete the study abroad programme. The study uses a mixed research method to gather and analyse data gotten from 112 international students from the Masaryk University in the Czech Republic. 102 of these participants provided data through a survey via a questionnaire which was analysed, while 10 students provided data via interviews carried out with the use of the Zoom application. From the results of this study, the study will explore the role of universities and the Czech society in facilitating the adjustment process of international students.

Abstract

The inflow of international students into the Czech Republic has significantly increased over the past decade, contributing to the country's cultural diversity and academic richness. However, these students experience various forms of challenges as they adjust to life in a new environment. This paper explores the adjustment experiences of international students in the Czech Republic, focusing on roles of financial stability, the prevailing social conditions in their adjustment and inclination to complete the study abroad programme. The study uses a mixed research method to gather and analyse data gotten from 112 international students from the Masaryk University in the Czech Republic. 102 of these participants provided data through a survey via a questionnaire which was analysed, while 10 students provided data via interviews carried out with the use of the Zoom application. From the results of this study, the study will explore the role of universities and the Czech society in facilitating the adjustment process of international students.
