Because the U.S. and Ireland are united by a common language, this country has become a favorite destination for students and educators looking to broaden their horizons and explore different cultures.

  • Cross-Border Student Mobility in Third Level Education: an Update Milena Komarova
    Cross-border Student Mobility in Third Level Education: An Update Milena Komarova The movement of higher education students, staff, and research funding between the two jurisdictions on the island of Ireland has been a focus of increasing political and academic interest throughout the period following the signing of the Good Friday Agreement (GFA) in 1998. Cross-border student mobility in particular, is widely recognized as offering mutual economic, social and cultural benefits to those jurisdictions that enable it. Indeed, the Centre for Cross Border Studies (CCBS) has previously published a number of reports and briefing papers on cross-border mobility in third level education, as have other higher education institutions and authorities on the island1. However, as with all areas of public policy, it is vital to assess the causes, and consequences of, any changes or developments2. We feel, therefore, that the present dynamic and uncertain context of the United Kingdom’s (UK) exit from the European Union (EU) compels further examination of this issue. There is a need to understand the immediate and longer-term impact of Brexit on student mobility, particularly in order to boost the capacity of institutions north and south to accommodate any shifts, and to deliver services in higher education effectively. 1 See for instance: Haverty, T. and Soares, A. (2014) “Cross-border Mobility in Third Level Education, CCBS briefing paper; Haverty, T. (2014) “Improving Cross-border Access to Third-Level Education. Alternative Qualifications as Barriers

International empirical research supports the hypothesis that academic staff are spending more time at work, are reporting diminishing morale, and are experiencing erosion of their values of academic freedom, autonomy and collegiality.
