Architecture & Town Planning students spend about 54 hours a week on study + paid work — the highest of all fields.
Language students are at the other end, with 41 hours.

Did you know that across EUROSTUDENT countries, most students live away from the parental home? Yet living with parents remains the single most common housing type overall (34% on average).
In 🇦🇿Azerbaijan, 🇬🇪Georgia, 🇲🇹Malta, 🇪🇸Spain, most students live with their parents.

The relationship between access route, HE participation, and student population‘s age structure is intertwined. For example:
🇫🇷 🇨🇿 🇱🇹: early entry, standard routes
🇳🇴 🇩🇪 🇨🇭 🇮🇸: later entry, non-traditional routes
🇫🇷 🇨🇿 🇱🇹: early entry, standard routes

Across the #EUROSTUDENT countries, 22% of students report discrimination experiences during their studies. On average, the most common grounds for discrimination, as perceived by the students themselves, are gender and age, with 8 and 6%, respectively.

Students who study beyond the standard period of study:
🔹 have a lower sense of belonging
🔹 are less likely to rate their academic performance better than that of their fellow students
🔹 are more likely to consider dropping out than those still within the standard period of study.

Although educational background is considered a key determinant of 🌍 international student mobility (ISM), it is worth taking a broader look at how migration background, income structure, parental prosperity, field of study, and HEI characteristics shape ISM participation.
