Abstract
The Articulation program led by the Study Abroad 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, which is greatly affected by factors such as academic situation, interpersonal relationships, environment and psychology. This study conducts a questionnaire survey among 245 Chinese students studying in the UK, aiming to explore the impact of interpersonal relationship and psychological adaption on the cross-cultural adaptation of Chinese students under the special school-running model of the articulation program.
