• Meet the experts. Internationalisation in their eyes: Hans de Wit

  Internationalisation in their eyes: Hans de Wit HANS DE WIT was Founding Director of the Centre for Higher Education Internationalisation (CHEI) at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore from 2011-2015, and a member of its Advisory Board 2015-2021. Before, he was Professor of Internationalisation of Higher Education at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, and Vice-President for International Affairs of the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Over the past decades I have seen how the University has grown in its international strategy from a strong but relatively isolated international operation to an even stronger and more integrated, transformative and comprehensive internationalisation strategy for the whole of the University. Internationalisation has two related components, internationalisation abroad and internationalisation at home. To further mainstream internationalisation and reach all students, faculty and administrators, it is important to work on a strategy for internationalisation of the home campuses. The creation of CHEI ten years ago not only supports this strategic internationalisation process at the University but is also a manifestation of the importance of internationalisation for the University. The Center did lead a major study for the European parliament on the internationalisation of higher education, resulting in a report that not only has influenced European policy but also globally has influenced the future direction of internationalisation.

• Driving International excellence - Professor Stefano Baraldi

  While Double Degree agreements may not immediately impact the reputation of the University, they become a factor once we communicate the benefits of these collaborations to the outside world. Additionally, the relationships formed through Double Degree agreements can become a vital network for many activities, including facilitating collaboration and research between faculty members, which can have a significant impact on the University's reputation. The internationalisation strategy created the need for and gave birth to the project that led to the accreditation of the Master of Science in Management . Therefore, after the initial trigger, the accreditation process and the contents that were deemed compliant with EFMD standards had internationalisation as a common thread . In your opinion, are Double Degree programmes a significant driver for students when choosing their academic path? The Master of Science in Management has both inbound and outbound Double Degree agreements. Through inbound Double Degree agreements, we can bring prepared students from all over the world into our classrooms . Being able to guarantee a classroom with an international profile , thanks to inbound Double Degree agreements, is a significant factor in my opinion.

• Is higher ed ready for 2020? Meet the experts. Martha Johnson, University of Minnesota

  Martha Johnson, University of Minnesota DR MARTHA JOHNSON is the Assistant Dean for Learning Abroad at the University of Minnesota. Her experience includes on-site program management, program development and marketing, management of a large university education abroad office, and teaching of short-term programs. What major trends have higher education institutions experienced in 2019? And what trends can higher education foresee in 2020? The trend away from students pursuing degrees in the humanities, languages, social sciences, and creative arts continues on most campuses in the United States. And yet the studies show that the long-term earning potential for students whose studies focus on critical thinking skills may ultimately surpass those whose education focuses solely on professional skills and certification. Learning abroad is one example of an experiential learning space that can facilitate the development of intercultural and interdisciplinary skills while basing itself in a professional training curriculum. Broadening the educational experience of all students to include dimensions designed to develop critical thinking skills while simultaneously enhancing career skills for traditional disciplines can only improve the experience for all students, which certainly should be the central goal of the academy. Successes in learning abroad outcomes and impacts offer a potential roadmap for how higher education can best design educational programs that go beyond the limits of traditional modes of teaching to create high impact learning across the curriculum.

He serves on numerous policy boards and publishes frequently on an array of internationalization topics, including Comprehensive Internationalization.

Higher education internationalization of teach/learning, research/scholarship and community engagement will grow in importance if students are to be globally competitive, faculty and institutions to be relevant, and communities to benefit from continuing globalization.

ISEP was a pioneer in levelling the playing field by basing programme costs on what students paid at their home institution and utilizing the resources of higher education institutions to provide international study opportunities for students from other countries. Over the years, ISEP expanded its offerings to include new types of programmes, such as fee-paid study abroad, exchanges for the entire ISEP global network (not just two-way exchanges between the United States and other countries), shorter-term programmes, internships, service learning and volunteer opportunities. What is the added value that a university such as Università Cattolica can bring to the ISEP network? Higher education institutions, like Università Cattolica, are the heart of ISEP. ISEP member universities help their own students through the application process for ISEP programmes, support students throughout their international experience and help them reintegrate on returning home, especially in securing credit toward their home degree. ’ Trust and shared values among ISEP’s member institutions are hallmarks of an ISEP experience. The most successful ISEP members are those that incorporate participation in ISEP programmes in a comprehensive internationalisation plan and leverage the network to advance its own agenda for students, faculty and the university as a whole.
