7. Faculty Discussions
The leading question is: Where do we stand in 2025?
Why do we internationalise?
What are our ambitions for 2025?
Four scenario’s
Engagement of many of the faculty community
Representative of the faculty in the Radboud Platform Internationalisation is responsible for the coordination

8. Four scenarios 1. Radboud on the Waal
A university in the region with an international touch.
We are happy with the current situation. The university’s objective is to provide young people from the Nijmegen region with the best possible education. Internationalisation is necessary to achieve that. The standard language is Dutch, English is used only when necessary. 5 to 10 Bachelor’s programmes are offered in English, half of the Master’s programmes are. 5% of the Bachelor’s students are from abroad; 25% of Master’s and PhD students are. The university offers a number of separate services to our international staff and students. Internationalisation efforts are focused on Germany, Belgium and the EU countries.

9. Four scenarios 2. Groningen on the Waal
A Dutch university with an international character.
Our university develops into an important player in the Netherlands which helps talents from the region, the Netherlands and -to an increasing extent- from Europe become international researchers and leaders of the future. Bilingualism is the standard on campus. In English taught programmes only English is used. Half of the Bachelor’s programmes are offered in English; 90% of the Master’s programmes are. 25% of Bachelor’s students are from abroad; 50% of Master’s and PhD students are. The university offers many separate services to our international staff and students. Internationalisation efforts are focused on the EU countries and a few other countries.

10. Four scenarios 3. Glasgow on the Waal
A Dutch university that strongly presents itself internationally.
Our university develops into an important player in the Netherlands and Europa which helps talents from the Netherlands and Europe become international researchers and leaders of the future. Bilingualism is the official standard, but in practice English is predominant. 75% of the Bachelor’s programmes are offered in English, and all Master’s programmes. Half of the Bachelor’s students are from abroad; 75% of Master’s and PhD students are. Our international services are partly integrated in the regular organisation. Internationalisation efforts are focused on the EU countries and several other countries spread over all continents.

11. Four scenarios 4. Harvard on the Waal
An international university located in the Netherlands.
Our university develops into an internationally renowned knowledge institute which attracts talents worldwide, sets quality standards and actively contributes to the debates on solving global problems. English is the only language of communication. All programmes are English-taught. The composition of the student and teacher population is a reflection of the world population. In principle, all efforts are international and global; international services have been mainstreamed and the regular organisation is fully equipped for international students and staff. The concept of internationalisation has lost its meaning.

12. Final words Quality First! Respect achievements in the past.
Please engage, let your voice be heard.
