The Assembly therefore calls on member States to promote student
mobility both to and from their countries by:
5.1 providing a welcoming environment to international students
and promoting the destination country’s employment prospects, its
communities and its higher education institutions;
5.2 introducing policies that facilitate the admission of
international students, allow them to gain work experience and,
if they so wish, remain in the host country after graduation in
order to seek employment;
5.3 implementing fully the Bologna Process for the recognition
of higher education qualifications, aligning national qualifications
with the Framework for Qualifications of the European Higher Education Area;
5.4 once jobs have been secured, helping international graduates
to find accommodation and obtain longer-term residency permits and
citizenship, if they so wish;
5.5 removing language barriers during studies and, with regard
to finding employment, assisting international graduates with specific
procedures which may differ from country to country;
5.6 for certain smaller countries, where relevant, offering
more programmes in English in order to attract international students;
5.7 setting tuition fees for international students at the
same or similar rates as those for domestic students and establishing
tuition fees which are not prohibitive for some international students,
while maintaining grant and loan programmes for students where an
incentive is required for areas of study considered important.
