N2 - This study explores the extent to which European students experience
financial and other barriers to participation in the ERASMUS programme.
The evidence indicates that the main barriers to participation vary
significantly between countries, with the exception of financial issues,
which are an important concern for students everywhere. ERASMUS
participation is associated with students’ socio-economic background,
primarily influenced by individual preferences and cost-benefit
considerations rather than questions of affordability. Other barriers to
ERASMUS participation include problems with study credit recognition, as
well as insufficient language skills and existing personal commitments.
