The Sheffield Hallam global student experience strand of our strategy will see an internationalised curriculum at SHU with informal learning opportunities which will empower students to make a positive contribution to culturally and socially diverse societies. The letter below, from Pro-Vice Chancellor Professor Roger Eccleston, introduces the Global Engagement Curriculum Innovation Programme which has been introduced to support this plan for Global Engagement.
Dear colleagues,
I am delighted to launch the Global Engagement Curriculum Innovation Programme which has been designed to support the implementation of the global student experience development principles.
The Global Engagement Curriculum Innovation Programme will support individual academics or teams of academic and professional services staff to develop and run 15-month long projects which will result in the implementation of sustainable and innovative activities providing a global student experience through:
· Virtual internationalisation in the curriculum
· New academic modules/programmes which increase global engagement within a programme area or an academic department
· Co-curricular and extra-curricular virtual or campus-based internationalisation projects
· Developing innovative and sustainable opportunities for international exchange as part of course curriculum;
The project funding will be allocated through a competitive process. More information about the programme, the application process and the selection criteria is available on the International Experience team site.
