UK HE context in subject studies, staff working in graduate school skills
support, staff working with postgraduate students, staff working on
collaborative programmes overseas and in the UK, colleagues working in educational
development to support tutors on culturally diverse courses and programme
developers and management, this Special deals with the current ‘hot’ topic of
UK HE. This Special builds on Special 23 by taking a wider view of culturally

so promises to be relevant to a wider educational audience.
