This Blended Intensive Program (BIP) focuses on key trends and challenges in the internationalisation of higher education, with an emphasis on practical tools and strategic approaches for international offices. Participants will explore topics such as internationalisation at home, cultural diplomacy through academic cooperation, and the strategic development of internationalisation in small EU countries.
The program will also cover practical areas including international student recruitment and global outreach, international marketing of study programs, project management for international relations departments, and mobility opportunities for students with fewer opportunities. Special attention will be given to current developments such as AI in higher education, digital diplomacy, and the digital transformation of mobility processes.
