Abstract
European countries have different approaches to student mobility in higher education. This article discusses policy variations, differences in mobility patterns, and related issues.
Highlights
Despite the high importance attached to mobility by national governments, in general, few European countries have articulated a national policy to deal in a systematic manner with the different types of mobility in evidence in their higher education systems, many believe they have such policies in place
Outgoing credit mobility is the top priority for national governments in Europe, in contrast with outgoing degree mobility
A growing number of European national governments appear to be actively interested in incoming degree mobility, this is not without its risks
Summary
Despite the high importance attached to mobility by national governments, in general, few European countries have articulated a national policy to deal in a systematic manner with the different types of mobility in evidence in their higher education systems, many believe they have such policies in place. The situation on the ground, (in terms of both policy and practice) is much more complex than the “grand discourse” on European student mobility, of recent years, might seem to indicate.
