The bulletin discusses the findings from a recent study on the transferability of skills and knowledge of UK educated graduates within the European Higher Education Area. The aim of the study was to identify differences between European-mobile graduates (EMG) and those who remained in the UK after graduation; to analyse EMGs’ pathways into employment or further study; and to learn about their experiences using their skills gained in the UK in a different European country. The research showed that EMGs differ from graduates who remained in the UK, especially in terms of their previous mobility experiences, their socioeconomic background, nationality, type of higher education institution attended and subject of studies. EMGs were more likely to enter further study in their new destination, and most of them valued both the traditional academic skills and the employability skills they gained during their education in the UK. The study was sponsored by the Society for Research into Higher Education (SRHE). The research was undertaken by Dr Heike Behle and Dr Charikleia Tzanakou.
