Produktbeschreibung

With lifelong learning at the fore, higher education cannot be regarded as an isolated trajectory in one's educational career and many students face substantial challenges in crafting their professional future. Higher Education Transitions aims to deepen our understanding of the transitions taking place when students enter, progress and leave education for the labour market. With an international team of contributors, this book examines fifteen empirical studies which include a range of quantitative, qualitative, cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. It is essential reading for all those interested in the transitions into higher education and the labour market.
