Abstract
Students and graduates alike are encouraged to enhance their skills and knowledge by moving to a different European country as both national governments and European institutions anticipate individual skill gains, closer European networks and a boost on national economies as a result. Using data from a longitudinal survey, this paper follows UK-educated Intra-European mobile graduates from undergraduate courses into employment, further study or other activities, and compares their early pathway with graduates who remained in the UK. Mobile graduates are divided into three groups: Returning European students, UK mobile graduates, and other mobile graduates. Empirical findings show that for returning students, mobility after graduation fulfils mainly educational functions. However, even though mobile graduates are less likely to enter employment directly after graduation, they are more likely to work in skill-appropriate occupations. The transition to either employment or further study of most mobile graduates does not take longer compared to stayers.
