‘What do I do now?’ Vocational students’ perceptions of the (Un)feasibility of higher education
Vocational education in Portugal has improved secondary school qualifications, but its impact on higher education remains limited. Government efforts to facilitate this transition have been only partially successful. This paper explores vocational students' perceptions of the accessibility and relevance of HE, with a particular focus on how socio-economic background, educational pathways and labour market challenges influence their aspirations.

Aspectos éticos e legais da eutanásia
A eutanásia refere-se à ação e decisão de uma pessoa gravemente doente ou em grande sofrimento de escolher livre e voluntariamente uma morte rápida e sem dor. Esse conceito, contudo, traz consigo debates éticos e legais que colocam em confronto dois princípios da ética médica: a defesa da vida e a autonomia do paciente. De acordo com o Código de Ética da Associação Médica Americana (AMA): “os médicos têm a obrigação de aliviar a dor e o sofriment…

Inbreeding and research collaborations in Portuguese higher education
Competition and diversification in higher education
In recent decades, higher education has experienced a massive expansion worldwide, which has often been linked to increasing higher education diversification. New sectors and new types of institutions emerged with this massification process to offer more diversified types of advanced training. At the same time, this expansion was often embedded in a political economy that increasingly favoured market forces, leading to growing privatisation and c…
How student choice consistency affects the success of applications in Portuguese higher education
In the context of a political imperative to reorganise the Portuguese higher education system, a deep knowledge of student choice decision-making processes when applying to higher education is needed. Following a ‘combined model’ of student choice, which emphasises economic and social factors, this paper aims to answer two main related questions: (i) what are the determinants of student choice consistency? (ii) Does choice consistency affect the …
Physical activity in high school during ‘free-time’ periods
The purpose of this study was to examine youth physical activity (PA) in free-time periods during high school days and their contribution to total PA. Differences in terms of sex, age, body mass index and school level were assessed in a sample of Portuguese adolescents. Participants totalled 213 (135 girls), aged 14.6±1.7, from two different Portuguese schools, 69 attending an urban school and 144 attending a rural school. Activity levels of five…
Higher education (related) choices in Portugal
The aim of this article is twofold: to further investigate the type of higher education institution choice using individual-level data on first-year students, and to establish the link between institution choice and the decision whether to leave home. The analysis was performed for Portuguese higher education by means of a bivariate probit model. Results indicated gender differences in the type of higher education institution choice. Socio-econom…

A random utility maximization nested logit model of living-arrangement and university-choice decisions is estimated. Estimation results show distance deters both prospective students living at the parental home…
Admission conditions and graduates’ employability
In a context of increasing competition for students, admission conditions have been used as an instrument in a strategy of differentiation. Such a strategy is guided by short‐run concerns, that is, the immediate need to attract more students. This article takes a longer term view, by examining graduates’ employability. The authors find that tougher admission conditions (namely, a mandatory mathematics examination) appear to be linked with lower u…

Determinants of the Regional Demand for Higher Education in The Netherlands
Sá C., Florax R. J. G. M. and Rietveld P. (2004) Determinants of the regional demand for higher education in The Netherlands: a gravity model approach, Reg. Studies 38, 375–392. Studies on the determinants of the demand for higher education typically emphasize the relevance of socio-economic factors, but leave the spatial dimensions of the prospective students’ university choices largely unexplored. In this study, we investigate the determinants …
