The authors explored the extent to which European students experience financial and other barriers to participation in the ERASMUS programme and found that the main barriers for participation vary significantly between countries, with the exception of financial issues, which are an important concern for students everywhere.Abstract:
This study explores the extent to which European students experience financial and other barriers to participation in the ERASMUS programme. The evidence indicates that the main barriers to participation vary significantly between countries, with the exception of financial issues, which are an important concern for students everywhere. ERASMUS participation is associated with students’ socio-economic background, primarily influenced by individual preferences and cost-benefit considerations rather than questions of affordability. Other barriers to ERASMUS participation include problems with study credit recognition, as well as insufficient language skills and existing personal commitments.
