We believe that experiencing new cultures, broadening horizons and learning new languages has a positive impact on individuals and society as a whole. We aim to give our students and staff the opportunity to cooperate with peers globally through meaningful international engagements that take place in-person and online. Our mission is to:
Embed internationalisation on campus
Enhance academic study through overseas experiential learning
Collaborate with universities globally to develop and evolve partnerships to support student exchange
Raise the cultural awareness and enhance the language skills of our students
Our values
Our work has been underpinned by six core values:
Focusing on the academic value of opportunities, working closely with teaching staff to embed international experiences within the curriculum.
Designing activities that empower, transform and support the development of our students so that they have the skills and knowledge to succeed in the future.
Organising safe and supported experiences, where all students and staff receive extensive guidance and preparation before going overseas.
Ensuring equal access to opportunities, by doing all we can to remove barriers to participation.
Offering value for money to DMU students, and helping to offset the costs of participation by offering funding for all participants.
Delivering a high-quality student experience and listening to feedback to help improve our service.
