Intra-European Student Mobility in International Higher Education Circuits

“Grounded on theoretical debates and diverse empirical data, the book certainly contributes to the empirical sociology of the European Union. It is not only relevant for those scholars who are researching student migration or mobility, but also for those dealing with issues of the ongoing horizontal Europeanization process. Enriching the theoretical debate on international student migration and social transnationalism, the findings presented in this book will surely stimulate further research on these topics.” (Leandro Aramburu, International Sociology Reviews, Vol. 3 (2), 2017)

Translated from Dutch:

“The findings are too numerous to summarize. With a lot of attention for detail, in balance with presenting the bigger story, Van Mol shows which factors matter, and above all that these factors should be considered in context. … This is an extensive study of student mobility, very much worth a read. … The fact that this book does not formulate concrete recommendations is not a shortcoming, as it is Van Mol’s explicit aim to deliver a scientific contribution.” (Jeroen Huisman, TH&MA Hoger Onderwijs, 2015)

“In providing a distinction between degree mobility (common in international student mobility) and credit mobility (common in European student mobility), Van Mol skilfully unpicks Erasmus students from the umbrella of the international cohort, giving them a distinct identity which has not necessarily been portrayed in other studies.” (Children's Geographies)
