Research:
Gender and Student Mobility
Many relevant surveys have shown that the willingness to study abroad is higher with female than male students. Furthermore, student mobility is generally higher within those fields of study that contain a larger percentage of female students compared to those where the majority of students are male.
This research project is attempting to find a reason for this gender bias in study abroad; so far the question has been little researched. The study involves a look at structural conditions, personal life circumstances and motivation.
