In the current era where lifelong learning is brought to the fore,
higher education can no longer be regarded as an isolated
trajectory within one's educational career as many students face
substantial challenges in crafting their professional future. More
specifically, the transition from school to higher education and
continuing to the labour market are often a difficult hurdles for
many students. Almost half of students do not succeed in the first
year and often withdraw from education, students are faced with a
variety of contexts and may choose to study in a different
(international) context, and they are then confronted with
structural barriers in finding a (high-quality) job, as evidenced
by increasing levels of youth unemployment and underemployment.
Higher Education Transitions aims to deepen our understanding of
the transitions taking place when students enter, progress and
leave higher education to enter the labour market. Drawing on an
international team of contributors, this guide includes three
conceptual and fifteen empirical studies which include a range of
quantitative, qualitative, cross-sectional and longitudinal
studies. Divided into three sections to reflect each important
transition phase, topics include: transitions from secondary to
higher education; transitions within higher education; transitions
from higher education to the labour market. By considering
transitions across different phases as a broad and interrelated
process, this guide will be essential reading for higher education
researchers, policy stakeholders and all those interested in the
transitions into higher education and the labour market.
