• Generation Z: the first true digital natives. But what else characterizes this generation?

  Like Helin, millions of Gen Z prefer not to stay connected online at all times for the ‘fear of missing out,’ or FOMO in their slang, exciting adventures. Beyond the idea as a generation who can’t live without their smartphones, Gen Z have started to change how the world runs. Unlike a typical tourist who visits a country for two to three days, Gen Z stay longer to maximize the experiences of being abroad. In a study of AFS Intercultural Programs, between 57% and 75% of Gen Z seek cultural experience abroad. In the job market, an IES Abroad study shows that 97% of international students landed a job within 12 months of graduation as compared to 49% of students who didn’t study abroad. The 2013 AIFS Study Abroad research reveals that 56% of international students believe studying abroad lets them acquire skills and competencies required in employment while 80% say that they have improved their adaptability in “diverse workplace environments.”. From the Global Employer Survey Report of the QS World University Rankings, with 10,000 employers surveyed across 116 countries, 6 out of 10 employers see the abroad experiences as an assent while 80% are actively looking for graduates who studied abroad.

• Reimagining international education: The Digital Revolution in Study Abroad

  Home Worldbound magazine Spotlight Reimagining international education: The Digital Revolution in Study Abroad Reimagining international education: The Digital Revolution in Study Abroad In this era of rapid technological advancements, higher education has witnessed a profound transformation that extends beyond the physical confines of the classroom. The impact of technology on the study abroad experience cannot be understated, as it has revolutionised the way students learn, interact and explore the world. Moving towards the classroom itself, and the learning experience - digital learning platforms have emerged as a gamechanger in the study abroad landscape. This accessibility to global education enriches the study abroad journey and provides students with a limitless range of possibilities for learning , bringing of course its risks too. Through blogging, vlogging, online journals, and social media platforms, students can engage in digital storytelling, documenting their adventures, sharing insights, and reflecting on their personal growth; it’s a reciprocal process, where a space is created for receiving comments and feedback, encouraging online discussions and interactions. Physical presence and cultural immersion remain essential components of the study abroad experience, as they offer opportunities for deep connections and immersive learning that cannot be replicated digitally. Embrace a digital revolution that expands horizons, unites global learners, and paves the way for a study abroad experience which knows no boundaries – where the identity of the students in the classroom of the future is yet to be determined.

• 1921-2021 A Century of History Ahead of Us

  Home Worldbound magazine Spotlight 1921-2021 A Century of History Ahead of Us 1921-2021 A Century of History Ahead of Us The most beautiful - and most symbolic - part of the Università Cattolica Milan campus are the cloisters. It was in fact 1924, only three years after the foundation of Università Cattolica, when Father Agostino Gemelli first realised how important internationalisation was. Within this context, the International Federation of Catholic Universities (FIUC) came about, the first international network with Università Cattolica and Katholieke Universiteit Nijmegen as original members, who were joined by another 14 universities a year later. It wasn’t until 1977 that the initial official reports of the international exchanges were made available: the University of Louvain-La-Neuve was the first university that Cattolica signed a mobility agreement with and this was directed mainly towards scholars of medieval history. A very important element of internationalisation at Università Cattolica is the Confucius Institute, the first Confucius Institute in Lombardy, having been founded at the university in 2009. As a result of the relations created with China through the Confucius Institute, Università Cattolica has developed a broad range of activities connected to doctorate programmes, double degree programmes and collaborations with many faculties, including Political Sciences, Law, and Banking and Financial Sciences. All this, together with student exchange programmes, is a testament to the constant commitment of the Confucius Institute in establishing university relationships based on knowledge and research which over time have led to strengthening the reputation of Università Cattolica in China.

• The great dive. How the quest for employability is changing the world of higher education.

  In a research on the subject, Mantz Yorke defines employability as ‘a set of achievements – skills, understandings and personal attributes – that make graduates more likely to gain employment and be successful in their chosen occupations, which benefits themselves, the workforce, the community and the economy’. The particular academic-professional world relationship is a focus of the QS Graduate Employability Ranking, which is used to determine a university’s standing based on its graduates with respect to their employability. The survey results that are then published provide a glimpse of the level of engagement a university has in regards to its students’ employability, and could consequently be influential in prospect student recruitment for universities, and prospect employees for employers. Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore operates in a global employability context as the university consistently expands its networks and options for its students both locally and abroad. In addition to the information that is provided on the occasion of its International Day, Università Cattolica manages a ‘Stage and Placement Portal’ where students can find internships locally or abroad, as well as job announcements, thus facilitating direct contact between the students and employers. The extensive push Università Cattolica has made to student-centered internationalization explains why the university ranked 101-110 in the QS Graduate Employability Ranking. Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore has worldwide recognition for providing employment connections and opportunities to its students.
