Theme Group Internationalisation
This is the web environment for our Theme Group Internationalisation. In this group, we work together on that specific theme for level 5 programmes.  We develop various activities, not specifically with a focus on an institution or a programme, but it will be done in a much broader sense.
If you want to make a structural contribution to the group, you are very welcome to be part of it. Please send an email to spithost@chain5.net or fill in the form, here below, in the next text.

Internationalisation and Level 5!
During the recent CHAIN5 Annual Conference, it became evident that there is a need to revitalize the CHAIN5 Theme Group Internationalisation & Level 5.  So that’s what we’re going to do! Besides getting acquainted, we will then discuss what we envision with this theme group and how we want the Theme Group to organize itself.
But first…. we’d like to know who is interested to join. If you would like to participate ánd contribute in activities connected to this topic… if you want to join this Theme Group, please leave your details here and you will be added to an Office Teams group and invited for the relaunch session.

Short survey Internationalisation and level 5
The Knowledge Hub Level 5 (Netherlands) would like your input on the topic of internationalisation in Level 5 programs. We’d like to map the current state of affairs of this topic and assemble inspiration and/or suggestions to help further develop this topic in Level 5 programs.
We approach internationalisation from two different yet related lines of thought:
–  development of competences regarding international awareness, internationality, global citizenship
–  development of intercultural competences, interculturality, diversity & inclusion
We appreciate your effort to answer the questions. It will take less than 5 minutes of your time.

Project – Survey Internationalisation
The Rotterdam Academy (Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences) and NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences have helt a survey with the intention to find out in what way internationalisation is already visible and how it is developing in level 5 study programmes. The survey aimed to raise awareness of this specific theme and to sketch a picture of how various level 5 programmes are developing in this respect. This will give us the opportunity to share the experience and knowledge gained in the various level 5 programmes and possibly achieve good cooperation on this theme.
The survey was based on two perspectives:
– Internationalisation from the traditional perspective of exchange, mobility on or offline or in other words, how can students of level 5 programmes be in contact with and learn from people in countries other than their own home country.
– Internationalisation from the development of students in terms of the value of diversity and interculturality. How can students be in contact with and learn from people who are different from themselves.
