Abstract

The aim of this study is to define the attractiveness of degree programs supplied by Italian Universities using data provided by the National Student Archive (NSA) on a cohort of students enrolled at the universities in a.y. 2017-18. For this sake, micro data on students university mobility choices have been summarized at field of study level in each of the Italian University by defining several indicatorsof degree programs attractiveness. A classification of universities based on the attractiveness of the fields of study they offer have been advanced which relies on arobust definition of mover and which takes into account multiple aspects of the investigated phenomena. The resulting data set has been investigated using Multilevel Latent Profile Analysis to identify profiles of universities and degree programs.
