Project for higher education student and staff mobility between Programme Countries and Partner Countries

Description

The Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) sees itself as a member of the global community of universities. As a university oriented towards excellent standards, it is continuously expanding scientific cooperation with universities and institutions worldwide. In order to maintain research and teaching at an internationally competitive level in the future and in the long term, intensive integration into a worldwide network of universities and research institutions is indispensable. As part of the internationalisation of the university, it is the declared aim to enable RUB students, researchers and other employees to gain international and intercultural experience at an early stage in order to significantly improve their chances on the globalised job market, and also to integrate RUB researchers as effectively as possible into the international research landscape in order to further increase the quality of research and teaching. International mobility funding thus represents a central building block for achieving RUB's strategic internationalisation goals in the area of internationalisation of teaching. The 2018 Erasmus+ project made an important contribution to this, in addition to that in the funding line with partners in programme countries (KA 103), through the exchange activities with international partners worldwide. Both in the area of student and staff mobility, stays of members of the partner institutions at RUB (incoming mobilities) as well as of members of RUB in partner countries (outgoing mobilities) were carried out during the project period.Four RUB students were sent to partner universities in Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Morocco and the USA for one-semester study visits, and five RUB lecturers were sent to partner universities in Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Morocco and the USA, while nine students were sent to RUB for one-semester study visits, four lecturers and seven people were sent by partners from Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Morocco and the USA for further education and training purposes to RUB. Due to the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, some incoming and outgoing participants were unable to complete their planned stays or had to break them off and return to their home countries.Inter-institutional agreements were concluded with the partner universities prior to all mobility activities, which were prepared by the RUB International Office (IO) in cooperation with the IOs or responsible offices at the partner universities. The quality of the exchanges was ensured by professional support at administrative and service level on both sides.DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTIVITIESAll students took part in various subject courses during their one-semester study visits, in some cases additionally in language courses in the national language and/or also in other foreign languages in the respective language departments/language centres of the universities. The choice of courses for the study abroad programme was agreed in learning agreements before the stay and adjusted accordingly in the event of changes. To get started, there were orientation days, some of which covered administrative topics such as the university system, insurance, registration at the university, opening an account, and also getting to know the study location, while others were subject-oriented and provided information on the final course selection and enrolment, for example. Further help was provided by student buddies or guides who answered questions about studying and living at the host university, as well as by alumni who had already studied at the host university.Before, during and after the mobility phase of the project participants, the International Offices/Offices of Study Abroad/Welcome Centres at the partner universities and at RUB provided support in all administrative matters and took comprehensive care of the participants. The subject/exchange coordinators in the faculties/institutes also made a considerable contribution to the high-quality advisory and support services at the universities. They were the contact persons for all subject-related questions and were in regular contact with the colleagues at the partner universities in order to ensure the best possible subject-related support for the outgoings and incoming students.
