To outline inferences on what school leavers would experience, consider or do when planning to study abroad, this paper aims to examine people who have experienced Erasmus concerning the relationship between their level and type of consumer cosmopolitanism and the decisions related to enrolling in the Erasmus programme, which include the decision itself, motivations, choice of destination, pursuing cultural differences and search for different levels of globalisation.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>After proposing a conceptual model, data were collected by surveying undergraduate or postgraduate students. Then a set of multivariate analyses were developed to validate the hypotheses.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Contrarily to what could be expected, results indicate that consumer cosmopolitanism decreases the likelihood for students to enrol on the programme. Additionally, three types of consumer cosmopolitanism were found: low, cultural and high cosmopolitans. According to results, low cosmopolitans display lower likelihoods of enrolment than the other two types. This evidence supports that intention to enrol is not always a good predictor of behaviour and that a gap is proven here as well. This study also suggests that cosmopolitan consumers do not reveal a preference for countries with similar\/different cultures or levels of globalization to that of their own country, but, conversely, experiencing a different culture remains one of the leading motivations for these consumers.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Although cosmopolitanism has been extensively studied in different research fields, its link with the decisions on studying abroad has barely been explored.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/yc-12-2021-1433","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,4]],"date-time":"2022-05-04T11:27:01Z","timestamp":1651663621000},"page":"587-602","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Studying abroad: the role of consumer cosmopolitanism in the enrolment decisions"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Miriam Ta\u00eds","family":"Salom\u00e3o","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Susana Costa","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Ricardo","family":"C\u00f4to","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,6]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"key2022101714473734900_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"163","DOI":"10.1080\/03055698.2016.1152171","article-title":"Choices of destination for transnational higher education: \u2018pull\u2019 factors in an Asia Pacific market","volume":"42","year":"2016","journal-title":"Educational Studies"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2022101714473734900_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"82","DOI":"10.1509\/jim.15.0021","article-title":"A taxonomy and review of positive consumer dispositions toward foreign countries and globalization","volume":"24","year":"2016","journal-title":"Journal of International Marketing"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2022101714473734900_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"184","DOI":"10.1177\/1028315315595703","article-title":"Similar students and different countries?
