Abstract
Students from other European countries studying in the UK have become more mobile as a consequence of the Bologna process and other recent national developments. German and Greek students belong to the most dominant groups of the European student population in the UK. Previous research suggests that one reason German students study in the UK is due to the structural changes in the German system of higher education. For many Greek students, studying in the UK is one means to migrate and increase their employment chances after graduation both in the UK and in their home country. Based on Futuretrack data, a census study of 2005-6 applicants for undergraduate degrees in the UK, the presented paper will explore the everyday experiences and expectation of German and Greek students in the UK. The differences between German, Greek and UK students will be explored in terms of their experiences as students (e.g. workload, involvement with extracurricular activities, term-time employment) and their preparation for the transitions after graduation. In this context, the regional mobility with regard to employment or further study will be of major relevance. The article will improve the understanding of the reasons, processes and outcomes of the growing phenomenon of student mobility.
