Inhalt: "Graduates from institutions of Higher Education do not only hope to get employed and be better paid. Study can also have an impact on employment and work in many respects: facilitating transition to employment, opening up opportunities for demanding, interesting and responsible professional assignments, increasing remuneration and job security, providing opportunities for continuing learning and leading the way to international mobility and visibly international assignments. The book provides a series of detailed analyses of graduate employment and work in comparative perspective. It draws from the survey of graduates from 11 European countries and Japan first published in H. Schomburg und U. Teichler 'Higher Education and Graduate Employment and Work' (2006). In this volume, scholars from twelve countries show how transition to employment, job assignments, employment assessments of the quality of employment and work vary by the graduates' socio-biographic and educational background. It also focuses on experiences during the course of study and competences acquired, international experience, regional background and regions of employment. It demonstrates more substantial differences of the relationships between study and subsequent employment between various countries than previous debates and analyses have suggested."

Inhalt: "The international mobility of students has considerably gained ground as a major policy in Europe over the last decades. As a result of the heightened political importance attached to international mobility, and the manifold practical attempts to increase it, there is an enhanced need for comprehensive, up-to-date, and reliable information on the phenomenon: statistical data on mobility are needed to measure progress - or otherwise - towards the various mobility goals and thus to inform the political actors of the impact of the programmes and other measures launched. However, data measuring real mobility (as opposed to foreign nationality) is not always available and is rarely sufficiently differentiated. This publication has therefore a double objective. First, it investigates which data on international mobility are being compiled and made available and which are not, both at the international, the national and the programme level. Second, this study presents in one volume the student mobility data identified, and - based on an analysis of these data - it tries to depict a picture of the main trends in international student mobility into and out of 32 European countries. Next to analysing and presenting the availability and quality of data on international student mobility, this report also makes recommendations for the improvement of student mobility statistics both at national and international level."

Inhalt: "Diskussionen über Studiengebühren und andere Studienkosten sowie über die Finanzierung des Studiums, unter anderem durch öffentliche Studienförderung, werden in Deutschland in Wellen immer wieder vehement und engagiert geführt. Vereinfachende Information und Argumentation scheinen dabei ein leichtes Spiel zu haben, weil die Vielfalt wichtiger Dimensionen und unterschiedlicher Ansätze und Erfahrungen in anderen Ländern wenig bekannt ist. Dieser Band, der aus einem im Frühjahr 2004 in Kassel durchgeführten Workshop der Kassel-Darmstadt-Runde hervorgegangen ist, beabsichtigt, einen Beitrag zur Versachlichung der Diskussion zu leisten: Dazu wird die Vielfalt der Argumente sortiert. Studienkosten, Studiengebühren und öffentliche Studienförderung werden im europäischen Vergleich dargestellt. Eingehend behandelt werden die neueren Ansätze zu Studiengebühren, Studienkosten und Studienförderung in Großbritannien, Australien und Österreich." (Autorenreferat)
