Strategy for Internationalisation and Student Mobility
The University will establish a cooperation portfolio which - reflects the student demands
- includes the aspect of educational aid to developing countries
- includes some of the best universities in all the continents
- reflects the University’s unique competence and its involvement in the arctic region
- reflects and promotes the international activities of the academic units.
The University will encourage mobility to interested students by offering exchange study periods abroad as an integral study component of the home degree programme.
The University will encourage exchange periods also in non-English speaking countries, especially in developing countries.
The University will work to receive a higher number of students from developing countries.
The University will increase the information and recruitment work, also towards permanently residing refugees and immigrants and pupils in upper secondary school. The University will to a greater extent than earlier promote location, size and climate.
The University will become an international institution for both students and staff by- offering courses of international relevance that give international competence
- giving more courses taught in English and/or other foreign languages
- foster intercultural learning and understanding by facilitating academic and social meeting places
- working for academic and social integration of students and staff from various national and cultural backgrounds.
The University will work to increase the participation in national and international education programmes and scholarship schemes. The University will also work to establish formalised cooperation that may contribute to more international activity.
The University will consider the possibility of establishing an International Summer School during the strategy plan period.
The University will work to integrate the Strategy on Internationalisation and Student Mobility in the institution’s running activities and budgetary work.
