Abstract
This paper describes case study research of four years of a support group for self-identified international students on an MA Art Psychotherapy programme. The research sought to understand the role of the group in the processing of international students’ issues, to broaden thinking on the internationalising of curricula. A key finding was that the students’ experiences were dependent on the relationship between them and the whole learning community, and that this was inseparable from a history of post colonialism.
