Exercise 11. Read the text “Student Mobility” and answer the questions.
1. What is student mobility?
2. Why are such students preferred?
3. What are the advantages of studying abroad?
4. What is the problem with student mobility?
Student mobility is the overseas movement of students, which helps them to improve their employability skills, develop international networks, broaden their cultural outlook, learn in a different environment and gain a new perspective. National governments support the idea of international education and recognize the benefits that their students get while studying overseas. Students who graduate with internationally relevant degrees are required by industries, companies and other enterprises in their own countries. They help their countries to compete internationally. Therefore, those students are preferred employees everywhere and employers indicate that an overseas study experience is becoming more and more important. Fortunately, all the credits earned at overseas universities are accepted in transfer by universities back home.
There are many student-exchange programs, which are a vehicle for those young people who are keen to experience education abroad. These programs do not just provide opportunities to take courses in other institutions, but also to experience how these courses are taught elsewhere. If the exchange program is in an overseas institution, students get the benefit of experiencing life in a different country, living in a different culture or among several cultures, learning a foreign language.
For those who are interested in this option, funding may be the only problem, as many exchange programs generally require that the exchange students pay their own way to and from the overseas institution. The expenses can come up to a large sum including the prices of return air tickets, travel, and room and board.
