Abstract

The article is dedicated to cross-border student mobility under the Erasmus+ programme, with main attention concentrated at the interests and experience of the Faculty of Economics and Management Czech University of Life Sciences (FEM CULS) in Prague students. The empirical part is based on statistical analysis of the numbers and structure development of students incoming and outcoming over the period of 2001-2007 years. Using appropriate time series models the indicators´ development during the two years following has been forecasted. The paper is exploiting the outcomes of questionnaire survey, too, done on the set of FEM students and aimed at perception and assessment of the programme. The survey has shown that, students understand the cross-border mobility as a benefit able to offer them a competition advantage later on the labour market. A comparison of the analyses with other studies´ results has been contained in the paper, too, and recommendations added in order to improve cross-border mobility promotion.
