Reply to: Setting Policy Agenda for the Social Dimension of the Bologna Process, by Yasemin Yagci doi:10.1057/hep.2013.38 (published online 7 Jan 2014)

This publication is a compendium of key indicators on the social dimension of higher education. It presents the findings of the 4th round of the EUROSTUDENT project, to which 25 countries forming part of the European Higher Education Area have contributed. With a view to obtaining internationally comparable data on the social and economic conditions of student life in Europe, more than 200,000 students were surveyed by the 25 national partners between 2008 and 2011.
The thematic design of this report reflects a lifelong learning student's course of study, from transition into higher education to a forecast on future studies. It concentrates on 3 main topic areas: access to higher education and the organisation of studies, students' resources and expenses as well as international student mobility.
The Synopsis of Indicators intends to contribute to the ongoing process of establishing a European-wide monitoring infrastructure on the social dimension of higher education, thereby inspiring policy debates and further research in the field.
"This Synopsis of Indicators, together with the associated national reports and the online data base, provide an important resource for higher education policy makers and researchers."
(Extract from Foreword by Prof. Patrick Clancy)

Im Projekt EUROSTUDENT werden Daten zu den sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen des Studierens in Europa erhoben. Der Band präsentiert die Daten und Ergebnisse einer aktuellen Studierendenbefragung in 28 Ländern des Europäischen Hochschulraums. Der Bericht ist die wichtigste Publikation des Projektes, das von Forschenden, Datensammelnden, Vertreter:innen nationaler Ministerien und anderen Akteuren aus ganz Europa umgesetzt wird. Der Projektbericht bereitet ein breites Informationsspektrum auf. Dazu gehören Daten zum Zugang zu höherer Bildung, zu Studienbedingungen, zur internationalen Mobilität der Studierenden, zur Qualität von Studiengängen und zu geplanten Studienprogrammen. Mit den Ergebnissen will die Projektgruppe bildungspolitische Debatten anregen und die Basis für künftige Forschungsarbeit legen.

The EUROSTUDENT V - Synopsis of Indicators is the central publication of the EUROSTUDENT project and the result of the collaboration of a European-wide network including researchers, data collectors, representatives of national ministries, and other stakeholders. It comprises data from student surveys conducted in 29 countries in the European Higher Education Area during the fifth round of the EUROSTUDENT project. Adopting a broad, comparative perspective, the EUROSTUDENT V - Synopsis of Indicators provides information on topic areas such as access to higher education, study conditions, as well as international student mobility, assessment of studies, and future plans with the aim of inspiring policy debates and laying the ground for further research.

Against the backdrop of the changing further education systems within Europe within the scope of the Bologna process this report provides information about the social and economic framework conditions of studies in Germany's further education system. The conditions in life and studies of students at German Universities are compared to those of students in other European countries. The international comparison is based on a survey of more than 200,000 students carried out in the period between 2008 and 2010 in 25 countries.
This report covers nine different topics, from accessing the University and financing the studies to studies-related foreign mobility. In addition to the European comparison, further in-depth national analyses for Germany are presented. The synopsis of both levels allows for a standardised international comparison under consideration of the specific University context in Germany.
This report is a significant contribution to the ongoing debate about the "social dimension of University education" in Germany as well as in the foreign countries within Europe and represents a starting point for further policy-relevant analyses.
