POLICY BRIEF THE MOBILITY PATTERNS OF MACEDONIAN STUDENTS AFTER VISA LIBERALIZATION

This paper examines what are the difficulties for achieving mobility, applies gap analysis to identify the key problems and at the end provides essential recommendations to institutions on promoting student mobility and encouraging students to broaden their knowledge and skills in other countries. Regarding mobility, this brief will only focus on students using mobility programs that last one or two semesters in other EU countries. The rationale behind this is to explore the progress of the internationalization process of higher education in the country, and in addition provide further guidance to enhance the mobility of Macedonian students.
