Internationalization at Home

2. Internationalization at Home

3. The main objective of WILLIAM is to support the advancement of “Internationalization at Home” strategies. Creating an international campus for the benefit of all students.

4. But why is ‘Internationalization at Home’ important?

5. In a world becoming exponentially more interconnected and technologically advance, the jobs of tomorrow can not be predicted…. • What can be predicted, necessity for: • English fluency • cross cultural skills • transversal skills

6. Erasmus Impact Study on mobility in the EU (2014): Compared to students’ own qualifications before going abroad, upon their return they have increased that advantage by 42% (on average). Study abroad = opportunity to develop cross cultural skills, transversal skills, improve English.

7. International experience is no longer “just for fun” (if it happens to fit into your schedule) Today, an international learning experience is CAREER DEVELOPMENT par excellence!!!
