Learning to Integrate Domestic and International Students: The Hungarian Experience
Kovacs, Laura; Kasza, Georgina
International Research and Review, v8 n1 p26-43 Fall 2018
In the past decades, the European integration (political, social and cultural integration of European countries) and the Bologna process have established a framework in the Hungarian higher education scheme by which institutions define their strategic internationalizing objectives and activities. Due to the growing number of international students traveling worldwide, Hungarian institutions continue to welcome more diverse and larger body of students. In the process, the institutions face many challenges in the integration of all students into academic and student life. To remain competitive, institutions of higher education are expected to improve their student services and adjust their practices to provide quality services for both domestic and international students. This descriptive study first examines the tendencies in inbound student mobility in recent years, then explores the main systematic and institutional obstacles to the integration of all students at various study levels. The study also argues that steady increases in student mobility have a decisive influence on the support the integration of international students during their stay in Hungary.
