Objectives

The Erasmus Programme aimed to achieve a multitude of positive results that align closely to MTU’s shared vision, including but not limited to, Equality, Diversity & Inclusion, and Global Outlook. This was achieved by bettering the educational experience of students through the increase of incoming and outgoing study exchanges. Moreover, undergraduate and postgraduate programmes benefited from student placements, which brought new ideas and outlooks to the various campuses and companies. Incoming students, for both study and placement, moved MTU in the direction of being an international, multi-cultural university, as well as being a multidisciplinary and multi-campus technological university. Furthermore, both incoming and outgoing staff mobility, for training and teaching, helped strengthen existing partnerships, while also furthering knowledge of best practices. BIPs were a huge part of this experience and introduced Erasmus to hundreds of students, creating new links to partners and new opportunities for students and staff. All aspects of university life at MTU have been influenced by the implementation of this project, influencing Learner Education & Experience; People and Community; and Global Outlook. We also wanted to create new partners and expand on existing partnerships, which we were able to do. The Ingenium Alliance was also a focus, as we aligned expectations and objectives with our 9 partners. Many 10 days of Ingenium were hosted at the partner universities, as well as at MTU. I also proposed a meeting with all Erasmus Coordinators and Project Coordinators, so we could map modules, find areas of interest, locate modules in English, among a host of other topics. This three day event was hosted at HKA where I was one of the guest speakers and organisers. This had a positive result on mobilities between the 10 partners and a better understanding and awareness of the Ingenium Alliance.
