This session brings together four scholars at various career stages to share their first-hand experiences of transitioning between the higher education systems of Continental Europe and the United Kingdom.

The principal organiser and moderator of the event is BSHP Ambassador, Dr Luca Dondoni (Ruhr-Universität Bochum). You can reach him at for any questions.
