We present a study to comprehend if the support given by higher education
institution (HEI) to international students coming from the PortugueseSpeaking African Countries meets their academic and social hindrances.
Our starting point was a set of semi-structured interviews focused on the
perspectives of these students, their Professors and Course Directors as well
as on the perspectives of HEI’ staff. Despite findings indicate a positive
institutional support, it seems there is still much to do in order to do it
properly with these students. These different perspectives will allow us to
reflect on the impact that those actions/resources have on the path of
students from Portuguese-Speaking African Countries and to systematize
suggestions to enhance their experiences in HE.
