There are currently over 35 million students within Europe and yet, to date, we have no clear idea of the extent to which understandings of ‘the student’ are shared across the continent.
Assumptions are made about common understandings of ‘the student’ across Europe. These underpin initiatives to increase cross-border educational mobility and the wider development of a European Higher Education Area.
Drawing on data from students across Europe, this webinar will argue that, in many cases, there is an important disconnect between the ways in which students are constructed within policy, and how they understand themselves.
