Student Migration

by Russell King, Allan M. Findlay

Until now, the international migration of students has been an inexplicably neglected topic of geographical study. This groundbreaking text is the first book-length study on the foreign mobility of UK-based students. This key book engages in a multi-method research approach, blending a range of techniques to explore the dynamics of student migration empirically, to contribute to the theorization of student mobility, and to answer relevant policy questions. Topical and timely, the relevance of King and Findlay's work to today's society is evident given the growing interest in intercultural education, cosmopolitanism, youth cultures and new forms of international mobility.
