To Study Abroad: A Complex Matrix of Influences
Abstract
Universities globally are increasingly seeking to improve the international mobility of their students. There are several latent benefits that accrue to a university whose faculty and/or students actively participate in international exchange programs. Essentially, this can lead to an increase in the capacity to develop international relationships, greater diversity in the student population with all the benefits that stem from diversity, opportunities for benchmarking against best practices, and the university's international reputation spreading on a global scale. Drawing on extant literature, this descriptive chapter reviews many and varied scholarly works to elicit a comprehensive range of ‘Push-Pull' factors or ‘a complex matrix of influences' that play a role in tertiary-level students' decision-making in relation to study abroad.
