The amount of study abroad programmes have expanded greatly over recent years, as has the number of internationally mobile students, yet participation rates in this activity remains unequal. Those from disadvantaged backgrounds continue to be underrepresented, despite efforts made by universities to widen access through initiatives such as study abroad fairs and student ambassadors. While much has been written already about cost as the primary deterrent for these students, less is understood about how other disinhibiting factors prevents study abroad intent from being transformed into action. As such, this research aims to explore how lack of information and awareness about study abroad opportunities influences the decision-making process for disadvantaged students, in particular those from white working class backgrounds, given that this subgroup has been largely overlooked in widening participation literature until now. It is hoped that findings will be useful in developing appropriate strategies to meet their needs and increase overall engagement levels with study abroad, thus enabling fairer access to opportunities and balancing the benefits of these more evenly across the student population.

近年来，出国留学方案的数量和国际移动的学生的人数都有了很大的增加，但这一活动的参与率仍然不平等。尽管各大学努力通过留学博览会和学生大使等举措扩大入学机会，但来自弱势背景的学生的代表性仍然不足。虽然已经写了很多关于成本作为这些学生的主要威慑因素，但很少有人了解其他抑制因素如何阻止出国留学的意图转化为行动。因此，本研究旨在探讨缺乏有关出国留学机会的信息和意识如何影响弱势学生的决策过程，特别是那些来自白色工人阶级背景的学生，因为这个亚群在扩大参与范围方面在很大程度上被忽视了。到目前为止的文献。希望调查结果将有助于制定适当的战略，以满足他们的需求，提高出国留学的整体参与水平，从而使学生能够更公平地获得机会，并在学生群体中更均匀地平衡这些机会的好处。
