Institutional Internationalisation Strategies and their (possible) impact on the quality of educational programs
Arthur Mettinger Austrian Bologna Expert, University of Vienna
> Strategic Development Plan (since 2005):- UoV should be among the best European research universities- UoV should offer internationally attractive study programmes, educating students for the European/ global labour market
WHY DID UOV DEVELOP AN INTSTRAT?
> Internationalisation (strategy) is not an end in itselfbut contributes to reaching those goals
> Based on existing strengths (ties with leading HEIs,network participation, geographical location)
> the draft strategy/main goals have been developedby the Rectorate under assistance of & discussed with:the University Board, the Senate, deans, study programme directors, Research Services & Int’ l Relations Office
WHO DEVELOPED THE INTSTRAT?
> Inclusiveness: cooperation instead of mere top down enactment
> Data based: indicators on the basis of a collection of reliable data (from the UoV data warehouse)
Research:> Increased share of international scientists at all levels> Enhanced cooperation with the best international universities/research institutes> Increased participation in international projects (focus: EU research programs)> Increased international visibility of research achievements (e.g. publications in leading international journals)> (Further) Development of internationally attractive doctoral programs in cooperation with leading European/international universities
MAJOR STRATEGIC GOALS I
Education:> Increased share of international students in MA- and PhD study programs> Increased mobility of teachers> Qualitative Increase of student mobility (differentiated: BA/MA/PhD)> Development of a comprehensive “multilingualism -policy”: increase students’ and teachers’ foreign-language competencies
MAJOR STRATEGIC GOALS II
> Number of internationally financed research projects> Scientific publications: Co-Authorship according to nation/institution> Cooperation (partnership agreements, joint-study-programs, cooperation
agreements) according to regions and rankings of partner institutions> Number of students that participate in international mobility programs
(outgoing) according to guest-country (EU/international) and mobility program> Number of students that participate in international mobility programs
(incoming) according to citizenship (EU/international) and mobility program> Number of students (Master-/PhD-level) without Austrian Bachelor- or Master
Degree according to field of study and citizenship (EU/international)
KEY INDICATORS I
> Number of Joint-Programs / Number of Master-programs in English> Number of professorial appointments from abroad (EU/Germany/international)
and percentage with regard to total number of professorial appointments in this time-span
> Share of scientific staff without Austrian citizenship according to staff categories> Share of teachers that teach courses (without language courses in language
studies) in a language other than German> Share of courses taught in a language other than German
KEY INDICATORS II
Students: within-degree mobility

Student mobility: a differentiated approach
purpose of mobility - differentiated according to programme level:
– BA: focus on program mobility inside Europe (experience, languages, culture); 1-2 terms
– MA/PhD: research stays at the best international universities/research inst. (of the respective field); 1-3 months
2020 target: 25% BA grad., 60% MA grad., 75% PhD grad.
„Experiential mobility“
• Knowledge of curricula(similarity?)
• Course offer (regularity)• Language (+ linguistic
preparation)• Full recognition
(outcome-oriented, on module basis)
• Admin. help
„Research-oriented mob.“
• Knowledge of research potential
• Research collaboration• Joint supervision• Integration into
scientific community• Language (for
survival)• Admin. help
Students: between-degree mobility
•(New) focus on degree-seeking students at MA/PhD level
– Establishment of attractive MA/PhD Programs (English)
– Development of “Joint Programs” (MA/PhD)
Staff: “Brain gain” mobility
