A Cross-Cultural Comparison of Student Mobility: Croatian and Hungarian Experience

The international mobility has proven to be a valuable experience for students during the course of their university study. While some students use that opportunity, many more remain distant from it. The purpose of this paper is to discuss and compare the perception, attitudes of the studentes of the Faculty of Law in Osijek (Croatia) and Pécs (Hungary) towards international student mobility as well as to reveal what motive them or prevent them to take more active part in the international exchange programs. Particular attention is given to the Erasmus Programme which is conducted at both faculties yet for different lenght of time. For the purpose of this paper, survey among students at the Faculty of Law in Osijek was conducted in 2010, while the survey among students at the Faculty of Law in Pécs was conducted in 2011. Since findings of international researches suggest that motivation of students is not affected by the geo-political or socio-demographic conditions, main goal is to analyse possible similarities and differences between these two student groups driven by different mobility background, such as difference in the history of exchange programs or experience with Erasmus programme which differes due to the fact that University of Pécs has been longer conducting it while the University of Osijek has recently introduced it in its academic offer.
