STUDENT MOBILITY

Student mobility is the overseas movement of students which helps them to improve their employability skills, develop international networks, broaden their cultural outlook, learn in a different environment and gain a new perspective. 􀀂􀀙􀀈􀀌􀀁􀀃􀀁􀀌􀀆􀀠􀀁􀀎􀀆􀀏􀀐􀀎􀀆􀀅􀀑􀀈

National governments support the idea of international education and recognize the benefits that their students get while studying overseas. Students who graduate with internationally relevant degrees are required by industries, companies and other enterprises in their own countries. They help their countries to compete internationally. Therefore, those students are preferred employees everywhere and employers indicate that an overseas study experience is becoming more and more important. Fortunately, all the credits earned at overseas universities are accepted in transfer by universities back home.

There are a lot of student-exchange programs which are a vehicle for those young people who are keen to experience education abroad. These programs do not just provide opportunities to take courses in other institutions, but also to experience how these courses are taught elsewhere. If the exchange program is in an overseas institution, students get the benefit of experiencing life in a different country, living in a different culture or among several cultures, learning a foreign language.

For those who are interested in this option, funding may be the only problem as many exchange programs generally require that the exchange students pay their own way to and from the overseas institution. The expenses can come up to a hefty sum including the prices of return air tickets, travel, and room and board.

Choosing my student mobility program

Basically I wanted to participate in a program that was different from anything I had experienced before; I wanted to live in a foreign culture and gain life experience.

My favourite subject

My favourite subject is management. I have always been interested in this segment of finance because it is practical and it helps to make financial decisions in real life.

Foreign-student mobility life

The best part of studying abroad is the opportunity to travel. Most of my trips have been with foreign students. I have made contacts in the Middle East, Europe and most Asian nations. The most memorable moment while being on exchange is New Year’s Eve celebrated in Malaysia. The main thing for me on this program is adapting to the different cultures and different opinions which, in some aspects, are totally the opposite of my life in France.

An important skill

One of the skills that I am learning is the national Malaysian language of Bahasa Melayu, I am sure I will continue to learn it when I return home.

Extracurricular activities

Back home I am a member of a golf club, so when I am not studying, I am usually participating in club events.

Looking ahead

This is my final semester as an undergraduate; I think I will work in corporate finance next year in Paris. However, after a few years of experience abroad I see myself working internationally either in Australia or in the UK.

My advice

Get as much information as you can about the university and the environment you will be exposed to before going abroad. Have a copious budget because there is always something you want to buy or a place you want to visit.

VIRTUAL MOBILITY.

Virtual teaching and learning is part of higher education in any university. This form of education involves a lot of new technologies, for example, wiki-based learning, cross campus lectures and seminars, digital libraries. They have created new opportunities for cooperation, interactivity, personalized learning, and participation in campus life.

Virtual mobility serves as a more flexible and cheaper mobility scheme. It fits the needs of all students, including disabled students and lifelong learners. As a general term, virtual mobility “offers access to university courses in a foreign country and allows for communication activities with teachers and fellow students abroad via the new information and communication technologies.”

Virtual Exchange offers all students the possibility of choosing a course, a module, a seminar, a joint project from another university in another European country, in order to learn and develop intercultural skills. By taking a module from another country, students have the opportunity to open a window on different teaching techniques, scientific approaches, different cultures. They can meet students from different countries through virtual forums, possibly combined with telephone and video.

All of this, without the expense and upheaval of leaving home and enriching the curriculum of the home university.

· Has the text made you feel that you should make any changes to your own lifestyle?

· Is there anything else you could do to continue your studies?
