As a small, specialist college of the University of London Heythrop is renowned worldwide for its open, critical and intellectually rigorous approach to theology and philosophy. We aim to open opportunities for study abroad to as many students, both incoming and outgoing, as possible. We have many requests for partnership with universities with similar specialisms and overseas students are eager to come to us. This has been particularly true in recent years with the opening of our Abrahamic Religions degrees, with doctoral students of Islam from Turkey seeking to study in a non-Islamic setting and students from other European universities seeking to study world religions in a theologically open and critical environment. Most commonly our overseas incomers are from German-speaking or Eastern European countries though we have had increasing application recently from Scandinavia, Spain, Turkey and Malta. Our incomers tend to be of high academic calibre who make a much-appreciated contribution to intellectual debate and enquiry within the college. Our outgoers have almost universally improved in academic achievement as well as personal and social maturity as a result of their mobility. A number of our staff are gifted linguists and much in demand as teachers overseas. Their research and teaching abroad has heightened the impact of their own work internationally and they have been able to strengthen the teaching of their subject in the host country, contribute to ongoing international research projects and enjoy opportunities for enhanced teaching and learning while overseas. Hosting mobility from teachers in our partner universities has given them an opportunity to strengthen their international profile and to benefit from the academic support of experts in their field at Heythrop.
