Student Mobility in the University of Glasgow 2007 – 2010
EC07/22a STUDENT MOBILITY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW 2007 – 2010 Sharne Procter Linda Buchan 1. BACKGROUND As part of its internationalisation strategy, the University has recognised the importance of offering students the opportunity to study or work abroad during their degree programme. This aim is also highlighted in the University’s strategic vision document which states that “the University will aim to make more opportunities to study abroad available to students”1 and is a key objective of the University’s Employability Strategy. The University recently developed a number of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) including an institutional target to increase the number of ‘home’ students having an international experience. In order that the institutional student mobility KPI is achieved, the numbers participating in mobility programmes must increase by approximately 30%, from 1100 to 1400 in the next 3 years. This paper provides information on the current study abroad opportunities available to students and presents a number of actions required in order to increase these opportunities and to allow us to meet institutional performance indicators. 2. BENEFITS OF STUDENT MOBILITY There are many benefits of student mobility both for the university and the individual student: Benefits to the University • Extending the profile and reach of the University in line with our international ambition to be in the top 50 Universities globally; • Hosting incoming exchange students contributes to the internationalisation of the student body, the campus
