ABSTRACT

The present study attempts to propose a model integrating different factors that influence the decision-making process of choosing foreign academic destinations for short-term mobility. The theoretical model will be supported by empirical research carried out using a questionnaire administered to students who participated in an exchange programme in Poland (N = 135) and in Portugal (N = 137). This paper contributes to literature by empirically investigating the pull factors affecting the international students’ decision-making process in three dimensions: the country, the city and the university. The findings have implications not only for universities but, for that matter, for local and national governments.

摘要

本研究试图提出一个模型，整合影响选择外国学术目的地进行短期流动的决策过程的不同因素。该理论模型将得到实证研究的支持，该研究使用问卷调查对参加波兰（ N  = 135）和葡萄牙（N  = 137）交换项目的学生进行。本文通过实证研究影响国际学生决策过程的拉动因素，从国家、城市和大学三个维度对文献做出贡献。这些发现不仅对大学有影响，而且对地方和国家政府也有影响。
