Using the example of Chinese students in South Africa, the paper explored some of the reasons that underpin South Africa's growing appeal as an international study destination. The research specifically focused on the period between 2002 and 2004 which witnessed Chinese students arriving in unprecedented numbers to pursue higher education in a post-apartheid South Africa.enEnglish languageStudy and teachingChinese speakersTextbooks for foreign speakersChineseThesisUniversity of the Western Cape
