Happy Sunday, and as students are finalizing their plans for next year, I found some motivation for them: The European Commission has introduced a plan for a European degree to improve higher education within the EU. This new type of degree aims to encourage greater student mobility and skill development by being jointly awarded by universities across Europe. The proposal includes steps to make quality assurance processes more efficient and to increase the recognition of qualifications across member states. It also stresses the importance of fostering attractive and sustainable academic careers, supporting diversity, and ensuring inclusivity in the workplace. #Mobility #Europe #highereducation

I was at the Times Higher Education Campus Live Conference today and took part in a panel discussion alongside Janet B. Ilieva Ola Drummond and Fiona Morrison. We explored how universities can use Internationalisation at Home initiatives and the diversity of their students to foster positive cultural understanding on campus for both domestic and international students. During the session, we also focused on how data shows a decline in modern foreign languages but also an increase in international themes in courses of study. Thus demonstrating that it’s never been more important to unlock and enhance global opportunities on campus. One key observation was the need for more tangible impact measurement. We then went on to discuss two key questions. Firstly, about the challenges of designing courses which embed internationalisation and secondly, how universities build confidence for engagement with virtual exchange projects! As ever, the insights from the audience were so interesting and thought provoking! Thanks again to Hollie Robertson for inviting me to participate and showcase our work at the University of Kent and in the wider sector! #InternationalEducation #IntlEd #GlobalEducation #InternationalCurriculum #GlobalLearning #GlobalCitizenship #InternationalSchools #GlobalCurriculum #CrossCulturalEducation #InternationalEducation #GlobalClassroom #GlobalPerspective

If you are a first-generation university student with limited socio-economic resources, I understand firsthand how daunting - and even traumatic - the journey of pursuing global higher education can be. Over the last three years through our Global Scholars Mentorship Program, I have witnessed these challenges repeatedly. While countries like the UK and USA are often seen as go-to destinations, I encourage students to also consider other European countries. Many top universities in Europe are publicly funded and offer significant advantages: 1️⃣ Affordability: Tuition fees are often just 5-10% of what you'd pay in the UK or USA. Plus, Europe offers numerous scholarships, such as DAAD and Erasmus, that ease financial stress. 2️⃣ Quality Education: Many European universities rank within the global top 100-200, delivering world-class education in English across a wide range of disciplines. 3️⃣ Socio-Cultural Exposure: Europe has a rich historical and multicultural environment. With a Schengen visa, you can explore 20-25 countries, expanding your worldview beyond academics. I personally believe travel and exploration are invaluable to broadening your horizons. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this - feel free to share in the comments! We, at the Eklavya Global Scholars Program (GSP), are providing free, year-long mentorship for master's and PhD aspirants with a special focus on first-generation students from marginalized communities.

📚 Unveiling Key Insights: IAU's 6th Global Survey on Higher Education Internationalization The International Association of Universities' 6th Global Survey, drawing from the insights of 722 institutions across 110 countries, highlights key trends and challenges in higher education internationalization. For German universities, these insights are instrumental in shaping a future-oriented global engagement strategy. Incorporating Financial Support for International Students: A pivotal concern identified in the survey is the need for enhanced financial support for international students, a challenge acknowledged by 56% of institutions. This underlines the critical role of German universities in developing scholarship programs and flexible financial models that facilitate access for a diverse body of international students, thus enriching our campuses and communities. Strategic Priorities for German Higher Education Institutions: 🎯 Strategic Imperative: With 77% of global institutions prioritising internationalisation, it's imperative for German universities to intensify international collaboration and produce graduates with a global mindset. This requires strategic planning and the integration of international perspectives throughout the academic journey. 🌐 Digital Frontiers: The shift towards virtual internationalisation, supported by 77% of respondents, represents a significant opportunity for German institutions to expand their international impact. Initiatives such as virtual exchanges and COIL can democratise international education, making it more accessible to students around the world. 🌍 Sustainability & Inclusion: The survey underscores the growing emphasis on sustainability and inclusivity within internationalization efforts. German universities, known for their commitment to these values, are ideally positioned to lead in this area, enhancing their global attractiveness and community impact. 🚀 Facing the Future: Navigating the challenges of financial sustainability and building international competencies are crucial for the road ahead. German universities are called to innovate and set new standards in addressing these challenges, paving the way for a robust and inclusive international academic environment. Conclusion: The IAU's 6th Global Survey offers valuable insights for German universities to not only navigate but also shape the evolving landscape of higher education internationalization. By embracing these strategic imperatives and addressing key challenges, especially in financial support for international students, German institutions can strengthen their global presence and contribute to a more connected and inclusive academic world. #HigherEducation #Internationalization #IAUGlobalSurvey #GlobalEducation #DigitalLearning
