Abstract
This journey of exploration started with a personal and professional inquiry into the mysterious dual higher education system in France and the study mainly focused on a particular population: international students. In combining the two interests, we chose the central research question: international student recruitment in the grandes écoles and the universities in the context of internationalization. International student mobility, both an old and a new subject of research, attracts worldwide researchers’ interest. It’s old because the phenomenon did exist several hundred years ago and has been analyzed from various perspectives in different fields of study.
