Aus der Veranstaltungsankündigung:

"Increasing student mobility and improving employability of graduates are among the key objectives of the Bologna process. However, IT is discussed very controversially whether these objectives are achieved. A prevalent concern is that the Europe-wide introduction of undergraduate and graduate study programmes have reduced student mobility over the last years. Furthermore, the perception of bachelor graduates as adequate employees is discussed.

Up to now, there are only few reliable empirical findings on the capability of bachelor graduates to gain an adequate employment as well as on their international mobility. An increased work load and inflexible study structures are assumed to keep students from going abroad, but there is only little data to support this assumption.

With the implementation of periodic graduate surveys in many European countries, IT has become possible to develop a comparative study on the basis of existing data from recent graduate surveys. Researchers from "Bologna countries" have therefore been asked by INCHER-Kassel to contribute to the Conference with country reports based on most recent bachelor graduate surveys. The country reports will be released in a book publication which will be presented on the Conference. The reports will serve as input to discuss empirical research outcomes about employability and mobility of bachelor graduates in an international comparative framework for the first time.

Participation

The conference is directed to international and German stakeholders and agents in higher education and higher education policy:
