The author outlines the potential research field demarcated by the phenomenon of the mass presence of students in the public space. At the same time, he views the phenomenon of studentification on a broader scale than solely the Polish (or Eastern European) one, treating the local situation as a case study. On the basis of the available literature he presents successive elements in the contemporary process of change: (a) the evolution of the status of knowledge; (b) change in the idea of the urban environment, as shown by the growth of students’ importance in the urban space; and (c) making the labour market selectively flexible on account of the significant group of working students. The author formulates hypotheses for each of these areas, and then makes general recommendations for researchers into the phenomenon of studentification.
