Studying abroad has positive effects at personal, social, professional, institutional and country level. During the meeting on 29 November 2011, the Council of Ministers of Education, Youth, Culture & Sport agreed that “by 2020, an EU average of at least 20 % of higher education graduates should have had a period of higher education-related study or training (including work placements) abroad, representing a minimum of 15 ECTS credits or lasting a minimum of three months”. However learning mobility barriers still exist and according to recent statistics from OECD the shares of mobile students vary widely across Member States. Eurostat has released this year information on the number of mobile graduates for the academic year 2012/2013. This technical briefing provides first estimates on learning mobility in higher education using available data on degree mobile graduates and mobile students for ISCED 5 to 8.
