SWOT analysis for internationalization Strengths Wide international cooperation Good preparation of JU students for mobility Competent JU staff Weaknesses Insufficient information on JU educational offer Inadequate administrative measures and regulations Problems with funding Opportunities New approach to curricula (based on learning outcomes) Internationalization as a factor enhancing employability Emerging ERA and EHEA Threats Inadequate national legislation Danger of „brain drain”
Jagiellonian University Centre for Higher Education Research Project „POL-EDDA” (Polish Education Dynamical Development Assistance) Expert work for the Conference of Rectors of Academic Schools of Poland and for the Ministry of Science and Higher Education –International context of Polish HE reforms –Comparative analyses of European QA systems and National Qualification Frameworks
What to do (1) To profit from „Genius loci” (magic of Krakow) To promote large-scale interuniversity initiatives To promote good practice
What to do (2) Organization of studies - „Mobility window”, „Internationalization at home” Support for courses in foreign languages Improved administrative mechanisms and procedures at the institutional and faculty level Optimization, cooperation, foresight
