Abstract
Chapters 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 focus on examples of migration taking place within formal education, with emphasis on student mobility at tertiary level. In keeping with some of the ideas already introduced in this book, there is recognition that young people, including students, tend to make their own mobility, using their agency to help them cope with the challenges of living in foreign countries. It is also largely up to these individuals to make value, and make sense, out of this mobility, and to secure the transition from one mobile learning phase to another. Therefore, while the topics discussed in the subsequent chapters are all substantially different, they share recognition of students’ role in managing their own mobility. As such, what we have are accounts of free movement in tertiary education; free in the sense of being guided by one’s own needs and desires, but not free in terms of emotional and economic costs.
