Internationalisation and academic mobility of students and staff are among the key priorities of Kherson State University. KSU is actively integrating into the European educational space and studying the best practices of the world's leading universities.
👩🏫 On 13 May, Assistant Rector for Internationalisation Alla Tsapiv took part in a three-day Erasmus+ workshop in Vienna (Austria) on academic mobility in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) in higher education.
📊 The participants were presented with a study by the Institute of Higher Education in Vienna on student mobility: age, academic disciplines, gender balance, and the share of foreign students in Austrian universities. The main barriers include financial difficulties, the risk of losing a job, family circumstances, and low motivation.
📚 During the event, ways to stimulate mobility were discussed: teaching STEM disciplines in English 🇬🇧 and the introduction of dual education (combining study and work). Participants shared their own stories and practical cases 💡.
