El estudiante inmigrante y su inclusión en la universidad española

Abstract

This article is the product of a research project financed by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation in an attempt to visualise the difficulties immigrant university students claim to experience in succeeding at university in Spain. This non-experimental, descriptive, correlational research uses as its unit of analysis the immigrant university student pursuing a degree, in different Spanish public universities. The study employs quantitative and qualitative Methodologies, gathering information through a questionnaire with answers on a properly validated Lickert-type scale and a series of discussion groups to get qualitative data. In addition to brief review by the literature in the matter, the numerical and qualitative data of the Study, are exposed and present some inclusive measures offered to endeavour to solve each of the academic problems the target population claimed to have met. These supportive measures could likewise be useful in covering the needs that European students may display in upcoming years s they move more freely through Spanish universities.
