      abstract = {Background: Hong Kong is at the cross-road between Eastern  and Western cultures. Increasing globalisation allows  students to gather experiences from various educational  contexts. While internationalisation has been promoted in  higher education worldwide, the focus was often put on  students from Chinese cultures integrating into Westernised  education systems. Not much is known about how students  from Chinese background with exposures to Western cultures,  reintegrate into a Hong Kong university, characterised by a  highly competitive system that potentially affects  students’ well-being. Aim: To identify learning preferences  by Hong Kong physiotherapy students who have been exposed  to educational contexts in the USA, Australia or Canada,  and to explore their subjective experiences regarding  different educational approaches during their studies.  Methods: Ten students participated in this phenomenological  study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in  English, transcribed ‘ad verbatim’ and analysed using  qualitative content analysis. Findings: Three themes  emerged from the data: (1) Interaction between students and  teachers, (2) past experiences that help with future  dreams, and (3) obstacles and opportunities in learning.  Conclusion: Physiotherapy students with globalised  experience rely on their past educational exposure to give  meaning to their future. They believe that a  student-centred approach is crucial for learning. Their  experiences shed light on consideration factors for  optimally internationalising the physiotherapy curriculum.},
