Abstract
This paper considers the issue of international placements in Higher Education. It begins with a review of literature examining the benefits of such experience and the perceived barriers to participation. Taking a case study approach based on questionnaires and individual interviews, the research scrutinises the views of over a 100 second-year undergraduate Education students at a post-1992 UK university, where take-up of such overseas opportunities has been persistently low. The study investigates the students’ declared reasons for non-participation, their awareness of potential benefits and suggestions for improving placement uptake. It concludes with a summary of recommendations for practice and future research in this area.
