Participation in learning abroad programs across Australia has increased fourfold over the last 10 years (AUIDF, 2015).
Recognising this growing importance, Universities Australia commissioned IEAA to undertake a comprehensive research project on learning abroad.
The reports examine current trends and outcomes, analysis of global policy settings and a review of support offered across government and institutions in Australia, including:
- Outcomes of Learning Abroad Programs (Dr Davina Potts)
- International Trends in Learning Abroad (Dr Cate Gribble, Dr Ly Tran)
- Learning Abroad at Australian Universities: the Current Environment (Leanne Harrison, Dr Davina Potts)
"The work is an important stock take of student mobility in Australia and highlights the considerable benefits for society in having internationally experienced graduates," said Universities Australia.
"As we move into an era where students are increasingly looking to improve their skills and enhance their employability, research which demonstrates the link between mobility and career development will become ever more important."
