Barriers to Mobility For Students Lack of student awareness Lack of linguistic competence or confidence Financial support

UK response Joint Steering Group on Outward Student Mobility established last year Tasked with identifying barriers to outward student mobility in the UK Group recommended development of a national strategy for outward student mobility Outward Mobility Programme established earlier this year, run by UK HE International Unit

UK Strategy for Outward mobility New programme – started May 2013 Government support - funded by HEFCE and BIS Managed by dedicated team within UUK International Unit Work with higher education sector and partner organisations working in international higher education to develop and implement UK strategy for Outward Mobility

Where are we now? Imbalance of inward/outward mobility: OECD data indicates that for every 15 international students in the UK, we have one UK student studying abroad In 2010/2011, Erasmus ‘sending’ figures were  UK: 8,577  Spain: 36,183  France: 31,747  Germany: 30,274

Why does it matter? 41% of UK employers dissatisfied with UK graduates’ international cultural awareness (Building for Growth, CBI, 2011) 54% of UK employers dissatisfied with UK graduates’ foreign language skills (Building for Growth, CBI, 2011) Employers value student mobility and international experience (Global Graduates, CIHE and AGR, 2011)
