한국 사회의 유학생 관리 상황이 양적 팽창에 비해 그 질적 수준이 정체되고 있는 가운데, 본 연구는 한국의 제2도시인 부산이라는 공간 속에서 중국 유학생들이 어떤 선택과 삶의 계획을 실천하고 있는지 이해하기 위해 초보적인 조사를 진행하였다. 본 연구에서는 부산의 국립대학에 유학하고 있는 중국 유학생들이 체감하고 있는 한국 대학 교육 과정에서의 문제점과 인문학 소양 교육에 대한 실태들을 살펴보고자 했다. 논문에서 외국인 유학생 교육, 특히 중국인 유학생 교육에 있어서 보편적인 인문 교육의 확대를 강조하는 것은 그들로 하여금 지각된 차별감을 극복하는 사회적 지지 획득의 첫 단계라 판단된다. 이를 위해서 대학은 정책적 배려를 통해 이들 중국인 유학생들의 학습자 태도를 회복함과 동시에 유학 생활 속에서 만들어지는 스트레스와 우울을 제도적으로 관리할 수 있는 체계를 만들어 나가야 할 것이다.
