About this book

Drawing on comparative country case studies, this book explores student mobility in Europe, incorporating original theoretical perspectives to explain how mobility happens and new empirical evidence to illustrate how students become mobile within their present educational and future working lives.

Reviews

"Cairns' final examination of institutionalised mobility [is] a particular stand out for me. His deft précis of the EU policy initiatives to increase inter-country student mobility [is] sharp and on-point." - Mark Holton, Children's Geographies
