The social dimension of student life in the European Higher Education Area in 2019. Selected indicators from EUROSTUDENT VII.Hauschildt, K., Gwosć, C., Schirmer, H., & Cras, F. (2020).The social dimension of student life in the European Higher Education Area in 2019. Selected indicators from EUROSTUDENT VII. Hanover, Germany: DZHW. Abstract
This publication presents indicators on the social dimension of higher education in the European Higher Education Area in four key areas: Demographics and social background of students, transition and access into higher education, students’ employment, and the financial situation of students. To what extent can students of different backgrounds be found within the higher education systems? How open and flexible are European higher education systems in providing access to students entering higher education at different points in their lives, and with different past experiences? What are the circumstances under which students pursue their studies and how do they make a living? |

The structure of public student support in Europe.Gwosć, C., & Hauschildt, K. (2016).The structure of public student support in Europe. EUROSTUDENT Intelligence Brief No. 3. Hanover, Germany: German Centre for Higher Education Research and Science Studies (DZHW). Abstract
The share of recipients of public support as well as the composition of this support differs greatly across EUROSTUDENT countries. In most countries, financial support from the public sector is available to students in the form of both grants and loans. This brief discusses the implications of the two different types of support. A relationship between the average share of recipients in a country and the share of loans can currently not be found in the EUROSTUDENT countries. |

What are the obstacles to student mobility during the decision and planning phase?.Hauschildt, K. (2016).What are the obstacles to student mobility during the decision and planning phase?. EUROSTUDENT Intelligence Brief No. 2. Hanover, Germany: German Centre for Higher Education Research and Science Studies (DZHW). Abstract
In the different phases of the decision process, different obstacles may deter students from studying abroad. Financial and familial obstacles are of especially high relevance with regard to the initial decision to go abroad for study purposes. Students who are already planning to study abroad are more concerned about practical matters: integrating a stay abroad into their study programme, getting relevant information, securing a place in a mobility programme, and ensuring their results achieved abroad will be recognised. |
