English universities must make it easier for international students who might face a language barrier to report harassment and sexual misconduct, a study urges.
The Office for Students-commissioned paper also found that just half of students from outside the UK would feel comfortable reporting such incidents.
Academics at the London School of Economics were looking into some key issues that could help the international community integrate into UK campus life.
They say studies have indicated that overseas students are more likely to be the target of sexual violence because of sociocultural insecurity, different norms and cultures in socialisation patterns, and little knowledge of reporting procedures.
