Internationalisation
Internationalisation is the University of Glasgow's process of engaging with the international community, to the benefit of students, scholars and employers. For employers, international experience is a highly valued graduate attribute.
The School of Interdisciplinary studies places internationalisation high on the agenda. We aim to extend our global reach to benefit our students and staff, and our wider local, national and global communities through the following projects:
- Strategic university partnerships
- Student mobility (study abroad and exchange)
- International student placements and employability
- Staff mobility
- Recruiting international students
