ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the methodology of the study. After introducing the research question and highlighting the existing gap in the literature, the chapter presents the research design. The sampling procedure for the choice of both the countries and the programmes analysed in the following chapters is described. The second part of the chapter examines the research methods, in particular the sampling procedure for the interviewees in each country as well as the method used for the analysis of the data (qualitative content analysis). Finally, a reflection on the limitations of the study is provided.
