Regulation Working Group Internationalisation Faculty BSS

Task of the Working Group Internationalisation

(This part is accorded by the Faculty Board, May 2013)

The Working Group Internationalisation advises the Faculty Board in (policy) matters concerning internationalisation in general. Examples of focus areas are:

• Exchange of students and staff
• Internationalisation of degree programmes, including double degree programmes, international classroom etc.
• Integration of (inter)national staff and of (inter)national students
• Internationalisation at home in general
• Faculty vision and policy concerning internationalisation

The entire field of internationalisation is subject to continuous development. Therefore, the focus areas of the Working Group Internationalisation also vary over the years. The Working Group Internationalisation is not involved with internationalisation in research.
