The present thesis studies preferences of former Erasmus students from Portugal about places to look for a job after their graduation and the reasons influencing that choice. It addresses cultural and educational tourism terms, defines the Erasmus programme. The research was comprised of 10 in-depth interviews and an online survey. It was concluded that former Erasmus students from Portugal do not have a clear preference, whether to search for a job in Portugal or abroad. Unwillingness to be away from family and friends was identified as the main reason to stay in Portugal, and “living in a new country” - as the main reason to look for a job abroad.

U ovom radu bavit ću se temom „ Iskustva studiranja u inozemstvu među Erasmus studntima/icama sociologije Sveučilišta u Zadru“. Ovu temu sam odabrala budući da smatram da je vrlo bitna za sve studente koji planiraju koristiti Erasmus program te da će iskustva koja budu dobivena u ovom radu prikazati bitne informacije svima koji su zainteresirani za ovaj program. Tema je vrlo relevantna i bitna budući da će studenti preko Erasmusa programa također upoznati određenu zemlju u društvenom, ekonomskom i kulturnom pogledu. Na taj način će se promicati i intenzivirati suradnja među sveučilištima zemalja članica, povećat će se mobilnost studenata te će se ujedno povećati i kvaliteta visokog obrazovanja. This paper is about the experiences of Erasmus students studying Sociology abroad at the University of Zadar. I choose this topic as I believe that it is very important for all students that are planning on using the Erasmus programme, as the experiences that will be shown by the results will reveal important information for all that are interested in this programme. The topic is very relevant and important as the students will encounter with certain aspects of a certain country such as the social, economical and cultural spheres. This way we can promote and intensify the cooperation between the universities in the programme and enhance the mobility of the students which will increase the quality of higher education.
