2. Internationalization at Home

3. The main objective of WILLIAM is to support the advancement of “Internationalization at Home” strategies. Creating an international campus for the benefit of all students.

4. But why is ‘Internationalization at Home’ important?

5. In a world becoming exponentially more interconnected and technologically advance, the jobs of tomorrow can not be predicted….
What can be predicted, necessity for:
English fluency
cross cultural skills
transversal skills

6. Study abroad = opportunity to develop cross cultural skills, transversal skills, improve English.
Erasmus Impact Study on mobility in the EU (2014):
Compared to students’ own qualifications before going abroad, upon their return they have increased that advantage by 42% (on average).

7. International experience is no longer “just for fun” (if it happens to fit into your schedule)
Today, an international learning experience is CAREER DEVELOPMENT par excellence!!!

8. YET…

9. Internationalization at Home is about all students reaping the benefits of international education

Established goals and activities for IaH. Focusing on existing procedures & protocols as well as opinion, perception & attitude. Created a tool that comprised of 5 sections:
Each institution will be responsible for collecting data to assess progress.

24. Tools for Baseline Indicators
Logical Framework Matrix (LFM)
IMPI (composite indicators)
CHE (faculty + students) baseline
SUCTI
Interviews
Tools for Baseline Indicators
Goal and impact of what IhA is
We creted a measure based on goals and activities
