Participation in the E+ project Learning Mobility of Individuals is part of TU Delft´s strategic plan on Internationalization of Education, in order to maintain and strengthen its strong position in the international world, and to realize the following objectives: - Increasing the number of TU Delft students with international experience; - Expanding the intake of international students, which is important in creating an international teaching and learning environment; - Increasing the mobility of staff and lecturers in order to improve their professional development and lecturer quality/teaching skills; - Further expansion and maintenance of international (strategic) collaborations in the areas of education, research, and training, with relevant multinationals, companies and governmental organizations, in order to position TU Delft as a leading global university. Both the University Corporate Office and the faculties are involved in the implementation of this strategic plan with the following recommendations for 2020: - The large majority of the graduates will have international experience through individual or structured mobility, minor abroad, structured student exchange or joint education programmes in either their BSc or their MSc curriculum. In order to reach this target the university will pursue an incentive policy to promote international study experience. Adequate facilities and ample information will be provided. For all outgoing mobility, it must be ensured that students can study nominally, and will not fall behind in their studies during their time abroad; - The Executive Board shall pursue an incentive policy aimed at increasing the number of BSc English-taught programmes. Faculties will be actively approached to explore the possibilities of offering a larger number of BSc programmes and minors in English, thus promoting international incoming student mobility, beneficial for creating a more international study environment in the BSc phase. TU Delft aims that by 2016, all BSc minors will be taught in English, and by 2020 every BSc program will offer at least 30 ECTS credits of English-taught courses; - The use of quality criteria for all international educational collaborations: reputation, level of education, the institution´s organizational standards and standard of services, compatibility, language of instruction, level of incoming students, balance of incoming/outgoing mobility, and experiences with the partner. To meet these aims, all faculties strongly promote international outgoing student and staff mobility. They have introduced a mobility window in the BSc programmes to facilitate study abroad experience, they have started to use quality criteria in the choice of partner universities, and they have enlarged the number of inter-institutional agreements for student and teaching staff mobility, leading to an increase in incoming and outgoing exchange students. Nearly all thematical BSc minors are taught in English, and the number of English-taught BSc courses has increased. TU Delft has joined a new institutional network, Global E3, which enables engineering students to go abroad to attend universities all over the world, while earning credits at home. TU Delft has realized the planned numbers of E+ student and staff mobilities, and ensured that all students, lecturers and staff, both outgoing and incoming, had equal chances and opportunities to participate in the project. The E+ mobility activities have contributed to: the growth of opportunities for students to study and work abroad at high-quality partner institutions; and the development of partnerships with European universities facilitating staff collaboration aimed at the sharing of best practices in teaching and learning. More than 90% of the incoming and outgoing students and staff are very satisfied with their mobility experience. Intercultural competences, autonomy and problem-solving skills, in particular, have been improved, and staff members report an increase of the job satisfaction, all thanks to the E+ stay. Longer term benefits include: - Good employability. Studying and doing an internship abroad is a very effective learning experience with rich learning outcomes that prepare our students for the world of work and creates best chances for a successful career. Students who stay at home are also gaining an international focus by working with foreign incoming exchange students in the classroom; - Great/exposure and visibility of TU Delft all over the Europa by students and staff going abroad as ambassadors for the TU Delft; - Improving lecturer quality through the exchange of new teaching methods and didactical approaches, and enhancing the teaching abilities in different environments and cultures; - Internationalization of all BSc programmes by introducing courses and minors taught in English; - And the development of long term strategic international partnerships which stimulates education and research cooperation.
