Edge Hill University has been participating in ERASMUS and ERASMUS+ programmes since 2010 and that participation has become integral to the university?s internationalisation strategy, supporting the commitment to increased levels of student and staff mobility, both incoming and outgoing, and to the development of sustainable, successful, high quality partnerships with higher education providers and other organisations. Our aim is to broaden mutual understanding providing students with a high quality learning experience whilst enhancing employability. A significant constituent of our student body are those from a widening participation (disadvantaged) background and encouraging those students to take part in ERASMUS+ is a key imperative for the university. Recognising that participation in outward mobility is not always possible an important aim is to benefit our whole student body by the presence of overseas students and staff in the classroom and throughout the campus, bringing different perspectives and experience into both the learning process and to the wider student experience. The University has a particular expertise and interest in the public sector, which it wishes to understand in a pan-European context and has also heavily invested in the creative arts, both of these areas have been a focus during this project. The number of outgoing student mobilities has increased from 3 in 2011/12 to 21 during 2014/15 with a gender split of 9 female and 12 male participants. Mobilities covered a wide range of subject areas, English, History, Film and TV, Design for Performance, Business, Nursing and Social Work. Of the 21 students, 13 were from a disadvantaged background evidencing the University?s commitment to widening participation. We have welcomed 30 students to the university during 2014/15 representing a 200% increase from the number hosted in 2011/12, these students studied a range of subject areas including Business, English, Paramedic Science, Nursing and Social Work. The number of outgoing staff mobilities during the project was 14 (5 in 2011/12) and we welcomed 12 teaching staff from across our partners who contributed to delivery and learning across a range of subject areas. Staff teaching mobility has proven a valuable and enriching factor for the student experience across the university. The range and depth of activity during the project across both staff and student mobility has resulted in some clearly evidenced and significant impacts to both individuals and organisations including: ? Membership of the Dukenet European University Consortium resulting in opportunities for Business students to be involved in the Markstrat Business game in Scotland and France. ? Showcase events at the Lowry Theatre, Salford Quays and The Everyman, Liverpool of student films produced during mobilities at the internationally renowned film school, FAMO in Czech Republic ? Launch of an International Paramedic Conference to be held annually ? A partnership between Edge Hill University, University of Saimaa and the North West Ambulance Service resulting in research projects and professional development activity and direct recruitment of paramedic staff All of these impacts have longer term benefits to curriculum development, research and knowledge transfer and application to practice whilst benefitting the student experience and enhancing employability.
