The numbers of international students taking on graduate degrees is on the increase, partly due to the advent of rapid communication and information tools and partly due to the recognition that globalisation is taking over the world. Hah! Supervisors I’ve spoken to over the years have always seen the mix of cultures in their laboratories as being an entirely positive aspect of their science. But, apparently, the social research literature is littered with issues surrounding attrition, motivation, and supervision among those students studying online and being supervised remotely.
