The University of Antwerp is an internationally oriented research university with a student body of 21.000, whereof 13 % are international students. It offers 33 Bachelor, 66 Master, 32 Advanced Master, 35 postgraduate degrees , organised in 9 faculties, 48 centres & institutes. 24 programmes are entirely taught in English. Doctoral programmes are available in all faculties. The educational policy focuses on the acquisition of international & intercultural competences by all students in order to become responsible citizens in a globalised society and to be successful on the labour market. Student mobility is the tool by excellence to reach these transversal skills. The aim is to reach a sustainable growth in the international student and staff mobility. Special attention is paid to underrepresented groups and alternative forms of mobility. Measures are undertaken to detect and overcome obstacles at all levels. The internationalisation of the curriculum is high on the agenda as well. With regard to staff mobility, the university underpins the importance of teaching assignments and training opportunities abroad, in order to continuously internationalise and innovate the educational offer. Administrative staff training abroad fosters personal development, professional networks and global vision. During 2014-2015 300 students of the University of Antwerp took part in the Erasmus exchange, whereof 270 for study and 30 for placement (an increase of 10% to 2013-2014). 417 students from Erasmus partner universities chose for UAntwerp. 33 staff members took up a teaching assignment and 5 administrative staff participated in staff training abroad. The Erasmus mobility project is managed in cooperation between central and faculty level each with a distinctive role. Faculties choose their partners, conclude the inter-institutional agreements and maintain contacts. The central international office supports the administrative follow-up and maintains the database. It is coordinating all operational and policy aspects related to the internationalisation and the mobility in particular and is taking care of the contractual & financial aspects. The faculties are responsible for the academic part of the mobility of incoming and outgoing students. All faculties have international coordinators, at academic and administrative level in place. Information channels are: website (at central and at faculty level), information sessions (at faculty and at central level) for incoming and for outgoing students, an orientation programme for incoming students and a yearly event ‘International day’ for outgoing students. Internal student evaluations are available and bring valuable feedback to the students directly. Sufficient language competences are considered essential for a successful stay. Incoming students are invited to join a Dutch language course for a smooth integration in city & university. Also outgoing students benefit from financial support when they opt to learn or improve the language of the country of destination. Moreover all students who went on Erasmus mobility during the 2nd semester did the OLS language test (113) and 33 used the OLS language training (up to C1 level). All students got academic recognition for the credits obtained at the host institution. The learning agreements are always concluded before departure but not always counter signed by the partner universities due to different reasons. Students receive their grant according to the contractual stipulations. The prepayment is carried out after signing the grant agreement and after upload of an arrival statement. The remainder is paid when all administrative obligations are met. All students (incoming and outgoing) students receive information about visa and insurance covers (by email and available at the website). Very few Erasmus students needed a visa. For the incoming students maximum effort is done for adequate information and smooth integration. The course catalogue is available online in Dutch and in English and updated yearly (during the 2nd semester of the preceding academic year). A link to the English taught courses is provided as shortcut, to ensure easy accessible information. All incoming students have access to all educational & university facilities. The educational and examination regulations apply and are explained during orientation. The university offers extra activities, such as orientation days, socio-cultural excursions during the year. ESN provides a buddy system. Information & support on accommodation in Antwerp is given by the international Housing officer. For year long stays students find accommodation through the KOTWEB database available to all students. For semester stays the university offers accommodation in own management or guides the students. The testimonials indicate that the impact of the Erasmus stay has been very big on students’ personal development and intercultural experience
