McGrath, Simon; Madziva, Roda; Thondhlana, Juliet – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2017
The last decade has seen the rise of literature focused on the rapid expansion of international students in higher education globally and the growing policy discourse around improving graduate employability.

Gaining a sense of…

Timmons, Stephen; Edgley, Alison; Meal, Andy; Narayanasamy, Aru – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2016
Nursing as an academic discipline typically draws on a wide range of other disciplines.

The concept of transdisciplinarity, though little discussed in nursing, is of considerable value in understanding…
