CHALLENGES FACED BY NEPALESE INTERNATIONAL FEMALE STUDENTS3
1. Introduction
It is evidenced that Australia has a rich education culture that attracts several
students from around the world. The international students adjust and shape new
techniques of learning because of enriched cultural paradigm followed in Australian
universities. Nepal is the third largest international students’ population in Sydney,
Australia where they are observed to face several challenges related with
employment and accommodating (Lesson and Sköldberg 2017). It has also been
revealed from the existing literature that accommodation cost for the Female
Nepalese students in Australia is huge as Sydney is a costly place to reside in and
along with education they also need to spend a huge amount of money in food and
transportation. They also face issues related with socio-cultural barriers, difference in
teaching patterns, home sickness as well as language barrier concerns (Birrell and
Betts 2018). The objective of the report is to explain the research methodology that
will be employed in analysing the “Key Problems and Challenges Faced by Nepalese
International Female Students at Holmes Institute, Sydney” that can support in
proposing constructive recommendations to solve the research problem. Research
methodology that will be used in the current research will consider selecting suitable
research approach, philosophy, design, method, hypotheses, sampling technique,
questionnaire design, data analysis and interpretation methods for attaining valid
research findings.
2. Research Methodology
2.1. Research Approach
Brannen (2017) indicated that research approach serves as the most
important step in carrying out the research in order to attain the valid as well as the

desired research results on “Key Problems and Challenges Faced by Nepalese
International Female Students at Holmes Institute, Sydney”. Considering same, it
can be stated that choosing the most appropriate research approach can support the
reasechers in recognising all the steps in carrying out desired research conducts
(Brooker, Brooker and Lawrence 2017). In this type of study two types of research
approaches can be applied such as deductive and inductive. Inductive research
approach can support the researcher in developing new theories and models after
attaining the desired research outcomes. On the other hand, deductive research
methodology can guide the researcher in aligning the study findings with the
available theories and models that is related with the research trough attaining
guidance from the collected data.
In the current research the major focus is on analysing “Key Problems and
Challenges Faced by Nepalese International Female Students at Holmes Institute,
Sydney”. For this research, the researcher will choose deductive research approach
for the reason that this exploration will consider carrying out quantitative analysis in
attaining suitable study findings (Cameron 2016). Deductive research approach is
suitable in this study as it will support in performing quantitative analysis through
dissecting response from the target respondents through quantitative survey.
Additionally, positivism research philosophy selected is directly related wit
quantitative analysis here data is collected through analysing previous trends and
facts that are present. For this research, implementation of deductive research
approach is considered in analysing the major challenges faced by Nepalese
students in Australian universities as it is most relevant in attaining actual results of
the study (Cuervo‐Cazurra et al. 2017).
