2. Internationalisation – why do it? Focus areas nInternationally qualified graduates n Focus on the integration of international perspectives in engineering education at the Faculty (DSMI) n Internationalisation at home (international study environment) n Attract students and teachers from abroad n Send students and teachers abroad nMarketing and recruitment abroad in relation to full-degree students Faculty of Engineering

3. Challenges: Outbound students Strategic focus on sending more students abroad. The aim is a 10 % increase per year. Between 60 and 100 students go abroad every year on Exchange at partner universities Internships in companies abroad (the majority) Increase in no. of students seeking opportunities abroad Faculty of Engineering
