Context/background of the project: After the Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP) came to an end, we applied for the Erasmus+ Programme 2014 Call with a renewed sense of hope to increase the number of outbound student mobility. With the start of new funding period, we decided to end all the unsuccessful partnerships. As well as renewing mutually beneficial partnerships, we signed agreements with new partner universities that could be more attractive to our students. The University went through restructuring this past year and we have a new internationalisation strategy that really supports outbound student mobility. Thus, the Erasmus+ Programme with its funding could help achieve our goal of increasing the number of outgoing students. Objectives: To provide opportunities of an international experience for both students and staff; to help students develop intercultural competency and enhance employability. Number and type/profile of participants: Traineeships ? total 9 outgoing students; eight were bachelor?s students while one was a master?s student; eight students spent at least 9 months and one spent 5 months abroad; two were Design students, another two were Biosciences students, four were Engineering students and one was a Business student; the participants included 3 females and 6 males. Studies ? total 6 outgoing students; five were bachelor?s students while one was a master?s student; four bachelor?s students went out for a full academic year while one bachelor and one master students went out for a single term each; four of the students studied Design, one studied Politics and one studied Social Work.; the participants included 3 females and 3 males. Teaching ? total 6 outgoing academics, one participated twice thus 7 mobility has been recorded; all except two taught Social Sciences (Psychology, Anthropology, etc.), the other two taught Occupational Therapy and Social Work; all except one academic spent less than 5 days teaching; the participants included 4 females and 2 males. Description of undertaken activities: Traineeships ? Except for one student who studied Business, everyone else studied Sciences or Engineering related fields. Overall, the trainees were involved in research & development, managing projects, analysing data and presenting the results. Studies ? Four students studied Design, two in Italy and other two in the Netherlands while one studied Social Work in Norway. One student studied Politics for an academic year in Czech Republic. She was actively involved with writing articles in the host university?s online magazine, iForum. Her contribution helped increase the visibility of the Erasmus+ exchange programme to the host students and staff. Teaching ? A Politics and History academic went to Italy to two different partner institutions and delivered seminars and workshops to students in multiple cycles. A Psychology academic went to Finland and delivered lectures to students in multiple cycles. An Anthropology academic went to Austria to conduct workshops for second cycle students. An Occupational Therapy academic went to the Netherlands and gave lectures and workshops to first cycle students. A Social Work academic went to Norway and gave lectures to first and second cycle students. A Psychology academic went to Hungary and delivered lectures and seminars to students in multiple cycles. Results and impact attained: Students have returned with a sense of confidence and maturity. They seem to be more focused in terms of what they want to do. One of the students is considering a master?s degree abroad. Two of the students have been selected as UK Erasmus+ National Agency Student Ambassadors. A postgraduate traineeship student was able to secure a full time job before completing the traineeship with another company in the host country and was grateful for the Erasmus+ opportunity. As for academics, some of them shared their teaching experiences by writing a blog on the Education Office webpage while others plan to do a short presentation at our annual Learning and Teaching Symposium. The Physiotherapy academic would like to start a student exchange programme after learning more about what the host university could offer our students. We believe one of the best ways to start a student exchange is through teaching mobility so the Physiotherapy teaching mobility has definitely had a fruitful result. Longer-term benefits: Students and staff will become more open-minded, adaptable and confident in the fast changing globalised world. Increased Brunel's profile internationally.
