Encouraging and inhibiting factors affecting Mykolas Romeris University students' decision on Erasmus+ study mobility programme participation.

Dear MRU student and participant of this survey,

I am in the process of completing my Master's degree in Public Administration at Mykolas Romeris University in Vilnius, Lithuania.

At present, I am in the process of composing my Master's thesis and undertaking research by identification of encouraging and inhibiting factors that may influence the decision of Mykolas Romeris University students to participate or not to participate in the Erasmus+ mobility program for studies. The objectives include data collection, analysis, comparison with oldest data, and the formulation of recommendations.

The purpose of this research is to conduct an in-depth examination (analysis) of the determinants that may positively or negatively impact the decision-making process of Mykolas Romeris University students in relation to their participation in the Erasmus+ study mobility programme. The objective of this quantitative analysis is to increase the number of outgoing students of Mykolas Romeris University through the identification (analysis) of encouraging and inhibiting factors that may influence the decision of Mykolas Romeris University students to participate or not to participate in the Erasmus+ mobility programme for studies.

The following survey will take approximately 10 - 15 minutes to complete. Participating in this study is completely voluntary and no sensitive personal information will be collected. The information gathered from the participants will only be used for the purpose of this Master´s thesis.

Please, keep in mind that your answers are anonymous and you may withdraw from completing this survey at any time.

Please fill out the survey, share it with other MRU group/coursemates, and maybe they will also share it with their MRU friends! It's a small step for you, but a huge help for me! 😊

I thank you for your commitment to working through this!
