THESIS Interlude: Mobility Motivations for International Students Selecting Norwegian Masters Programs during COVID

THESIS Interludes are episodes occurring in between seasons where we feature students in the process of developing their research projects in the field of higher education. Guests are asked what the research topic is, why they chose it, which methods they are using, what challenges they have faced, and what they have learned thus far in the process of their projects.  The podcast team is starting with featuring our very own masters theses.  This week features Tracy Waldman, who is focusing her thesis on exploring the reasons why international students from outside of the European Union / European Economic Area chose masters programs in Norway during after the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. If you’d like to support our guest today in their research efforts, send us an email stating how you think you can help at [email protected].
