description This study aims to identify the challenges faced by international students enrolled in accounting courses at İnönü University’s Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences and to explore potential solutions to these challenges using a qualitative research method.In a globalized world, the increasing mobility of international students leads to challenges for those from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, especially in technical courses such as accounting. This study highlights the importance of mathematical and language proficiency for foreign students in understanding accounting courses and proposes solutions, such as combining traditional teaching methods with practical applications. The findings contribute to understanding these students' educational needs and developing appropriate teaching strategies.As a result of the data evaluation, the participants emphasized the necessity of having a solid understanding of Mathematics to comprehend the Accounting course. The findings also highlighted the importance of instructors teaching in English using clear and comprehensible language, international students studying in Turkish programs should master the Turkish language before starting their undergraduate education, and it would be beneficial for courses to be taught face-to-face using both classical methods and slides.Additionally, they emphasized the need for more practical training. The other responses of the participants are discussed in the Conclusion and Discussion section.
