This study proposes a hybrid decision-making framework integrating SWOT analysis, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and Fuzzy Number Theory (FNT) to structure and evaluate stakeholder perspectives on experiential learning. Applied at Carleton University, the model prioritizes experiential...

Entrepreneurship is crucial to the economic and social growt of any place. The development of entrepreneurial attitudes and behaviours should be a priority for everyone to develop the ability to generate employment, income, and foreign exchange and satisfy the needs of specific niche markets....

As digital technologies reshape the global economy, fostering digital entrepreneurial intention (DEI) among university students has become an urgent educational goal. However, empirical research on how entrepreneurship education promotes DEI, particularly through creativity and digital literacy,...

Exploiting the quasi-experimental introduction of tuition fees in selected federal states of Germany between 2006 and 2014, this study investigates how these fees affect the likelihood of overeducation based on data from the SOEP. Reporting lower bound estimates, the findings show that graduates...

Many countries have established new local colleges to increase access to education for disadvantaged populations. However, many of these expansions have not reduced educational inequality. Drawing on evidence from a large-scale college expansion initiative, we find that increased college...

Objective: The article aims to identify the key aspects that define service quality for artificial intelligence chatbots (AICB) in higher education, based on insights from students. The second objective is to put AICB quality into the broader context of other key variables associated with...

Failure to complete higher education (HE) not only represents a waste of time and resources for students and their families, but also constitutes a misallocation of public funding. Dropping out of HE is a complex process, with students having diverse reasons for leaving university without...

This study investigates digital literacy thresholds within South African higher education institutions in the context of Industry 4.0, focusing on entrepreneurship education. The research addresses the critical gap between current digital competencies and Industry 4.0 requirements, challenging...

The affordability and stability of housing are key determinants of economic well-being, but their effects on the academic success of University students remain underexplored. This paper investigates the causal effect of early access to affordable student housing on academic performance using a...

In this paper, I investigate the effects of offering conditional student aid to foreign students on their labor supply in Denmark. I utilize a natural experiment created by an EU court ruling in 2013, deciding that foreign students had the right to a monthly student aid subsidy on equal terms...

We study how AI tutoring affects learning in higher education through a randomized experiment with 334 university students preparing for an incentivized exam. Students either received only textbook material, restricted access to an AI tutor requiring initial independent reading, or unrestricted...

This paper examines the impact of international students on the academic outcomes of domestic peers in introductory economics courses. We address the potential endogeneity of class selection by focusing on first-year students enrolling in a large public flagship university, for whom class...

Leveraging administrative data from the University of Iceland, which cover more than 60% of the undergraduate population in the country, we examine how home exams and peer networks shape grades around the COVID-19 crisis. Using difference-in-difference models with a rich set of fixed effects, we...

Inequality in college attendance is a key driver of intergenerational mobility. We focus upstream to examine how elite high-schools - specifically UK private (feepaying) schools - shape university destinations across the achievement distribution. Using linked-administrative data, we show the...

This paper examines the effect of the Brexit process on international student migration from the European Union (EU) to the United Kingdom (UK). Using administrative data on higher education students in the UK, we employ a dynamic and a synthetic difference-in-differences estimator to compare EU...

This paper provides the first evidence on the impact of exposure to international students on the long-term outcomes of native students. I combine unique survey and administrative data from the Netherlands covering one million students across three decades and employ an across-cohort design. I...

The COVID-19 pandemic forced university students to transition to online learning due to mobility restrictions and campus closures. When in-person teaching resumed, many students had to commute or move closer to campus and adapt to a new learning and social environment. This paper examines how...

The study evaluates the effectiveness of a 12-week AI module delivered to non-STEM university students in England, aimed at building students' AI Capital, encompassing AI-related knowledge, skills, and capabilities. An integral part of the process involved the development and validation of the...

We examine the role of students’ political views in shaping college enrollment decisions in the United States. We hypothesize that students derive utility from attending institutions aligned with their political identities, which could reinforce demographic and regional disparities in...

The study evaluates the effectiveness of a 12-week AI module delivered to non-STEM university students in England, aimed at building students' AI Capital. An integral part of the process involved the development and validation of the AI Capital of Students scale, used to measure AI Capital...

Purpose: Overconsumption is an escalating problem, the unchecked levels of production and consumption craft a vicious cycle that results in excessive exploitation of natural resources. This research attempts to assess the sustainable consumption practices (SDG 12) of university students by...

We analyze whether men and women respond differently to tuition variation for both university entry and STEM major choice, using a 30-year Australian individual-level administrative dataset. The Australian setting is unique: tuition fees are regulated, students can defer payment through...

We identify the impacts of a student's timetable on their attendance, study time and academic achievement using administrative and survey data from a public UK university across a broad range of degree programmes using quasi-random assignment of students to their timetables. Timetable measures...
