Tania Berman President Erasmus Student Network

What is ESN? One of the biggest non-profit interdisciplinary student’s organisations in Europe Founded in 1989 With the return of the 1st Erasmus students Aim: support and develop student exchanges and provide an intercultural experience also to those students who cannot access a period abroad ('internationalisation at home'). Principle: “Students helping students” 2

International projects

What is PRIME? Problems of Recognition In Making Erasmus European-wide research project Conducted by ESN with the support of the European Commission and with a partnership of Vilnius University Two editions: 1 st in 2009 Follow-up in 2010

Objectives Draw attention of the stakeholders and parties involved in the process of recognition to ever-lasting problems and obstacles Map and monitor good practices Provide solutions and recommendations Improve the quality of exchange and increase the numbers

Fields of the research Most common practices in Europe regarding: Information provision about Erasmus and other exchanges ECTS Course credit calculation Usage of the ECTS at European universities Learning Agreement (LA) Negotiation and signing Recognition Validity of the LA, involved parties, common problems Grade transfer Erasmus and additional grants, tuition fees

Research Both qualitative and quantitative Three-level research: New: In-depth interview with National Agencies Online questionnaire for Higher Education Institutions Online questionnaire for Students From February until the end of April 16 interviews with National Agencies 50 0 responses from Higher Education Institutions (500% more than in 2009) 9000 responses from students (375% more than in 2009 )

Information provision 26% of students never receive information on exchange students recognition rights Information provision to students PRIME 2010

Learning Agreement 87% of institutions use official form of Learning Agreement provided by European Commission 75% of students make changes to the Learning Agreement PRIME 2010

ECTS 93% of students use ECTS in their Learning Agreement PRIME 2010

Grade transfer Conversion of grades at home university upon return PRIME 2010

Erasmus grants Almost 100% of Erasmus students receive the grant 4% of students are required to pay back part or entire grant Reasons PRIME 2010

Recognition: the concept No common definition-subject of interpretation Full recognition according to ESN: “All the credits earned during the exchange and that were originally present in the final version of the Learning Agreement are recognised by the home university without a need to take any further courses or exams.” PRIME 2010

Recognition: procedures PRIME 2010

Recognition and exams upon return 73.08% 23.93% 3% PRIME 2010

Recognition: decisive factors Country of home institution Field of studies Information provision Changes in the LA Need of professors approval Parties involved in signing the LA and recognising courses PRIME 2010

Recognition: remaining challenges Incompatibility of study programmes Problems with credit calculation Problems with grade transfer Bureaucratic issues Attitude of certain professors Insufficient information provision PRIME 2010

Recommendations Binding bilateral agreements Flexible study programmes and creation of “mobility windows” ECTS as the only credits system, uniformity in ECTS calculation Usage of ECTS grading scale or development of other grade conversion method Common guidelines on course recognition and specific roles for all parties Better and more timely information provision Information and training provided to professors
