The topic of this thesis is the academic mobility of students, which was investigated from the perspective of an underrepresented group in higher education, students with disabilities. The aim of the research is to describe and understand academic mobility from the perspective of students with disabilities. As part of this thesis, qualitative research was conducted among 11 students with disabilities in undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of Rijeka. The research was conducted in April and May 2023 through a semi-structured interview. Most of the participants believe that they are not sufficiently informed about academic mobility and they cite the faculty as the most common source of information. None of the participants has participated in academic mobility programs so far, but some of the participants express their motivation to participate. As advantages of participating in academic mobility programs, participants see gaining new knowledge and experience, developing independence and self-confidence, getting to know a new country, cultures, people and education of a foreign country, as well as better opportunities for students with disabilities in a foreign country. When participating in academic mobility programs, participants believe that the need for support and an assistant, cultural barriers, spatial barriers, study-related barriers, health barriers, emotional-social barriers and financial barriers would be a challenge for them. The participants state a large number of recommendations that they believe would result in greater participation of students with disabilities in academic mobility programs, and among them they emphasize the need for change and innovations in mobility programs, research into the perspectives of students with disabilities, advertising and informing about mobility programs, ensuring support for mobility program and financial support.
