Outgoing mobility of the SB BSU bachelor students: experience and obstacles

Abstract

The relevance of our research work lies in the fact that many students have a desire to complete training in universities abroad within the framework of the academic mobility programs. The number of such students only increases every year. Therefore, we decided that it would be useful to learn about the obstacles students may face and share information with those who have not yet decided on this step. The aim of this survey is to identify the real factors that stop students from taking part in international exchange and understand whether it is really difficult to combine exchange training and the educational process in the Republic of Belarus or it is just a stereotype, and find out what is the main goal of students wishing to participate in the exchange. In order to achieve this goal, two surveys were conducted: for students who have never taken part in international exchange, and for students who already have experience. Object of the study – international academic mobility of SB BSU bachelor students. Subject of the study – bachelor students who want to go on an exchange for the first time and bachelor students who have already gone on an exchange
