A study on the international experience (credit mobility and digital international collaboration) of higher education graduates from 2020–2022. We examined who participated, how accessible an international experience was, why graduates took part, and where they went. We also explored what graduates learned from an international experience and what the benefits were on the labour market.  

This study examines employers’ attitudes towards hiring international graduates in the Netherlands, using survey and focusgroup/interview data. With this study, we look into the perceived advantages, disadvantages and employers’ needs from universities and the government.
