Abstract:

“Some of the refugees forced to flee their home country are young people who have just graduated from secondary school, completed one or more semesters at university level, or already hold a first degree. They want to continue their university studies in Europe, but encounter a variety of obstacles standing in their way. They are, however, also supported by Swiss students and universities. What difficulties do they encounter, and what measures are especially helpful in this situation?”
