L’intégration universitaire et sociale d’étudiants tunisiens et marocains inscrits dans une université francophone canadienne
Abstract
This study is part of a body of research looking at the psychosocial processes of acculturation by some migratory sub-groups, as well as the construction of their identity, and the integration strategies developed both by individuals and by academic institutions. We tried to apply these concepts to the situation of students from Tunisia and Morocco who are enrolled in a masters or PhD program in a francophone Canadian university. Through a qualitative approach, using variables of nationality, sex and time since migration, we explore the integration of ten students. We understand integration to be a combination of social and academic integration. The results indicate that students prioritize academic integration, and that social integration largely follows from it.
