Mobility Perception, Competences, and Perspective on the Future among Euroculture Students : A Study on Super-Mobility in the Context of the European Higher Education Area

The aim of this study is to understand how super-mobility affects EMJM students’ experiences. This is done through exploring the experiences of Euroculture students, by answering the following research question: Are there differences to find between the reflections on the experiences of Euroculture mobile and super-mobile students, in terms of Mobility Perception, Competences, and Perspective on the Future? In order to answer the research question, in-depth interviews are conducted. For the analysis, the author applies three concepts, one taken from the methodology for developing the European Higher Education Area, and two that she proposes based on the existing literature on super-mobility in education. The results show that there are significant differences in how students within the same programme get to experience it in relation to the mobility component. They also show both the positive and the more problematic effects of super-mobility on the students’ development in several dimensions
