Abstract
The Articulation program led by the Overseas Education Service Center of the Ministry of Education of China has developed rapidly in recent years and has become an important way for Chinese students to study abroad. The level of cross-cultural adaptation of students studying in the UK has an important influence on whether students can successfully complete their studies. The level of cross-cultural adaptation is greatly affected by factors such as academic performance, interpersonal relationships, environment and psychology. This research conducted a questionnaire survey of 245 Chinese students studying in the UK to explore the impact of academic situation and environmental factors on the cross-cultural adaptation of Chinese students.
