There is a growing importance of student counselling and orientation in higher education. Although both have always been part of the university environment, particularly in the United Kingdom and the United States, they have been moving closer to a center stage in recent years as a result of the massification of higher education, its diversification and growing complexity, and the increasing types and intensity of pressure being placed on students regarding both their studies and the difficulties that very many of them anticipate in finding suitable employment upon graduation. At the very least, academic counsellors will help students deal successfully with these pressures while making the best possible choices regarding their studies and their future careers. This book compiles a set of papers in this regard. ; UNESCO European Centre for Higher Education

During the 1980s, most European countries underwent substantial changes in their economic and educational systems. During the period it became clear that the discussions were going to be centered around the rapid changes being experienced by the higher education systems in practically all the countries of the region in their attempts to adapt themselves to new socio-economic conditions. In particular, much stress was given to the need to arrive at a clearer understanding of the diversification processes which were currently taking place in various higher education systems and of the combinations of factors which lead to such diversification. This book aims to discuss the features, the causes, and the national experiences of the ongoing processes of adaptation of higher education to changing societal needs and diversification of processes that were exerting similar influences on different national systems of higher education in European countries. ; UNESCO European Centre for Higher Education
