Report: Recommendations to Support UK Outward Student Mobility
A new report by the Joint Steering Group on UK Outward Student Mobility entitled Recommendations to Support UK Outward Student Mobility examines the incentives and obstacles to students studying and working abroad and makes recommendations to ensure that their numbers increase in the future. It notes that obstacles include inflexibility in the curriculum and the lack of recognition students receive for their time abroad. The report recommends making it easier for students to spend time abroad via shorter placements and calls for the experience to be recognized academically so that time abroad counts toward a British degree.
