Newcastle University - Evidence-informed Quality Improvement Programme (EQUIP)
A period of study overseas can be one of the most effective means of supporting the development of the various attributes that equip students for global citizenship. Yet nationally 25 students come to the UK for each one going abroad [THES 3 June 2010].
The team hopes to change the situation at Newcastle University by further developing policies marketing strategies staff and student ‘toolkits’ enabling and supportive practices and staff development. Through all of this it is hoped to increase uptake of opportunities for learning abroad by UK-originating students and enhance integration of international and UK students at home. This will help to enhance the learning experiences of all Newcastle University students.
