Journal overview

The European Journal of Higher Education (EJHE) offers comprehensive coverage of theoretical and empirical studies of higher education in Europe, comparative research within Europe, and comparisons between European and non-European higher education. Building on the successful legacy of its predecessor, Higher Education in Europe, EJHE is establishing itself as one of the flagship journals in the study of higher education and specifically in study of European higher education. The journal accepts original research articles and proposals for special issues.

We strongly recommend that authors consult back issues of EJHE for examples of topics of interest to our readership and to ensure that your proposed article is in conversation with any prior articles in the same topic area published in EJHE or other higher education journals. The articles that are part of a special issue do not all necessarily have to have explicit European focus as long as the overall theme of the special issue fits the scope of this journal.
