Abstract
The number of foreign exchange students choosing to study at the University of Rijeka (UNIRI) is on a constant rise despite a fairly limited offer of English-medium instruction (EMI) study programs, with courses conducted mostly in the Croatian language. The purpose of this research is to enquire into the level of academic satisfaction regarding several aspects of student mobility among exchange students at UNIRI faculties which do not offer established EMI study programs. Aspects explored were academic and administrative support provided during their mobility, course conduct and assessment, and the quality of EMI in chosen courses. The findings suggest that students are generally satisfied with both the quality of EMI courses offered and with the level of English used in course conduct. The participants, however, observe that even though they did not have difficulties in understanding lectures, the English vocabulary range should be at a higher level, especially when engaging in discussion. While identifying positive aspects, such as the level of English as a language of instruction, course conduct, and academic support, participants criticized an overly casual approach to course-related obligations with frequent course re-scheduling and waiting for assignment correction standing out as main issues. Administrative support proved to be at a satisfactory, especially prior to their mobility.
