Abstract
This chapter, Student Views on Cross-Border Higher Education: the Views of the European Students’ Union, reflects the work of the European Students’ Union (ESU) in transnational education, which benefits from the efforts developed by the European students’ representatives and the political documents published on behalf of ESU.
Compiling the work developed by the organisation, this chapter addresses the positions taken by ESU throughout its different publications and policy papers in the last fifteen years, during which time it has proven to be a clear, conscious and critical voice for European students, who have confirmed to be worth listening to.
