| Summary: | The doctoral research examined how international students make sense of and tackle challenges when securing in-person placements, preparing for placements, and enhancing organisational socialisation during placements in a host country. It comprised six interconnected studies reported in peer-reviewed journal articles. Significant outcomes include a model of agentic sensemaking and a model of transition into work. The models can inform research and practice seeking to empower international students to exercise agency before and during placements. |
