Abstract

ABSTRACT

Higher Education (HE) confronts an era of increasing change characterised by globalisation, knowledge-based economy, technological revolution, lifelong learning, greater pressures towards accountability, a much more diverse student population, amongst others. Mainly in Europe, the process towards the construction of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), in which the student learnin experience is a central issue, is undertaking these changes. In this context, the EHEA is an excellent occasion for rethinking the university. Considering this situation, this article will (1) review recent literature related to student support and career guidance, (2) describe and discuss the current trends of HE and, (3) analyse the advantages and disadvantages in the relationship and articulation between the current situation of HE and the development of student support and guidance at Higher Education Institutions.
