Indicators on international student mobility for assessing the Bologna Process Meeting of the BFUG working-group on mobility 13 January 2010
Benchmark indicator • What the Communiqué says: • Target refers to graduates and not mobile students enrolled; • Target includes implicitly long-term and short-term mobility; • Target seems to refer to outbound mobility; • What the Communiqué leaves open: • Types of short-term mobility to be considered (credit mobility / other short-term mobility); • Which destinations should be taken into account, whole world or other countries of the EHEA? • Level of education (cycle). Bachelor, Master or both? • Period of studies of the graduate during which short-term mobility should have taken place. Education Statistics
Benchmark indicator • Types of short-term mobility • Credit mobility • Mobility for the purpose of gaining credit; after mobility students return to home institution; • Institution is aware of mobility; • Not collected, but can be integrated in current data collection tools; • Other short-term student mobility • Other stays abroad during higher education studies, for a relevant activity and a relevant period of time; • Institution usually not aware; • Not collected and it’s difficult to integrate with current framework; • Proposal: Include only credit mobility Education Statistics
Benchmark indicator • Combining long-term and short-term outbound mobility Education Statistics
Benchmark indicator • Data currently collected at international level does not allow its computation • Data on diploma mobility is collected from the country of destination and by country of origin; • Number of graduates that have spent some time abroad (credit mobility) is not collected. • Regional scope of destination • Proposal: EHEA + other OECD countries • Level of education (cycle) • Any programme up to 2nd cycle qualification? • Study period of reference during which credit mobility takes place • During the programme the student is completing Education Statistics
Supplementary indicators • Distinguishing between diploma mobility and credit mobility • Other short-term mobility • Mobility by socio-economic background of the students • Balance between inbound and outbound • Regional balance • Measuring the level of integration of the EHEA • Market share of EHEA in worldwide mobile students Education Statistics
