High-impact measures for the comprehensive internationalisation of curricula in Switzerland
Description
Internationalization is a key priority of UAS. Yet, efforts in the internationalization of curricula (IoC) are still modest due to manifold challenges. Applying the IoC paradigm to Swiss UAS, this project develops high-impact measures that provide effective incentives to institutions wishing to internationalize their curricula. Collaborating across language regions and reaching out to IoC experts, the project strengthens the international outlook of UAS in Switzerland and the world.
