Student mobility between the EU and the Eastern Partnership countries Irina Lungu, ACA Policy Officer Eastern dimension of mobility
General considerations The EU on the global student mobility map Student flows between the EU members states and the Eastern Partnership countries Concluding remarks Outline of the presentation
Student mobility → ‘mobilities’ By type: degree vs. credit (i.e. non-degree, temporary, exchange) By direction: inbound vs. outbound By ‘nature’: vertical vs. horizontal By level of study: ISCED 5B, 5A (Bachelor + Master), 6 By the method of measurement: yearly basis (census-type statistics) vs. ‘event’ of mobility in the course of study (surveys) 1. General considerations
Coverage of the presentation – degree mobility Measured by nationality – foreign students Data source: UOE data collection (UIS - UNESCO Institute of Statistics; OECD; EUROSTAT): Strength: internationally comparable Weaknesses: high level of aggregation – ISCED 5A; less recent (2006/07) 1. General considerations
Foreign students in the EU (+ 4 countries) (N = 1 507 475) Foreign students with EU 57 525 (3.8%) nationalities studying in the EU (in other countries than their country of origin) 575 493 (38.2%) Foreign students with non-EU nationalities studying in the EU area 874 457 (58.0%) Unknown nationalities 2. The EU on the global mobility map (2006/07)
The common feature of all EU countries is diversity. Close to 2/3 of all foreign students in the EU are concentrated in 3 countries only: the UK, Germany and France. Net importer countries (Western and Northern Europe) – net exporter countries (Central and Eastern Europe). 2. The EU on the global mobility map (2006/07) (3)
