Mobile Talent? The Staying Intentions of International Students in Five EU Countries

The SVR-Research Unit presents a comparative study on the staying intentions of international students in five EU countries. An online survey of over 6,200 international students in Germany, France, the UK, the Netherlands and Sweden shows a strong interest among students in staying on temporarily after graduation. The main motivation is to gain international work experience. Barriers, including lack of information about legal regulations, need to be addressed. Lecturer Hans de Wit was an academic partner in this study.
