Objectives

Mälardalen University (MDU) considers the Erasmus+ project to be a very important part of it's internationalisation as the programme offers the possibility for students, teachers and staff to spend time at a partner university as well as living an everyday life abroad. Through such an experience all of our participants acquire an intercultural understanding, knowledge, reflections, and objectives that cannot be obtained in an equal way in regular classes/meetings at home. For those of our students who do not participate in the programme, it is of great value that their teachers go on an exchange so they can bring back new teaching methods and also new knowledge that can be applied at the University, while teachers who do not take part in the programme gain a better understanding with cultural differences in their encounters with students and colleagues from other countries. The Erasmus+ project also helps the University to increase the internationalisation at home through all incoming students and staff who enrich the academic environment with their different cultures, background knowledge, perspectives and input. The objective for MDU with the Erasmus+ project is to widen the perspective of its students, teachers and staff through both exchange, collaboration, and internationalisation at home and that all courses read abroad can be fully recognised/transferred toward the students' degrees.
