Stranmillis University College has had a long history of involvement with Erasmus since its inception in the late 1980s. From 1992, and early links with partners in Spain and The Netherlands through Socrates 1, and through other developments in the 1990s, the University College has grown and developed its links and partnerships with institutions throughout Europe, latterly through the Lifelong Learning programme, to the healthy and robust programme prevalent today. The contemporary programme reflects links and partnerships with some 31 universities and colleges throughout Europe, with the latest added in the course of the 2014-15 project. These partnerships have traditionally been based mainly upon student and staff exchange and mobility and these remain its mainstay. Erasmus opportunities are made available to all students and staff across our three undergraduate degree programmes: Teacher Education, Early Childhood Studies and Health and Leisure Studies. Today we send some 40+ outgoing students to European partner institutions, for the period of one semester, to study abroad and to undertake placement. This represents approximately 27% of our penultimate year Teacher Education students and 10% each of our Early Childhood Studies and Health and Leisure Studies students: an overall 9% of our total undergraduate student population. In return we receive approximately 60 incoming students from Erasmus partners annually, across both semesters. Staff mobility is also healthy with our annual quota of 4 outgoing tutors met each year. Reciprocal numbers from partner institutions each year regularly exceed 12. International Development is one of the main strengths of Stranmillis University College and also one of its key priorities. The Erasmus programme is one of a number of ongoing projects which include a robust International programme (with key partnerships outside Europe), a project with Tenby Schools in Malaysia (which includes student placement opportunities, teacher education for Malaysian teachers and a new PGCE International programme) and a partnership with the Institute for Study Abroad at Butler University, Indianapolis which attracts some 20+ fee-paying students to Stranmillis each year for study and school experience. However, Erasmus remains the mainstay and core focus of opportunities for both outgoing and incoming students and staff each year. It is upon this solid, well-established foundation and experience that the University College embarked upon the new Erasmus+ programme and the 2014-15 project. The objectives of the project were: 1) to continue to develop new partnerships to increase opportunities for our students and staff, 2) to strengthen and deepen selected partnerships with a view to developing joint teaching and research opportunities in line with the aims and aspirations of Erasmus+, and 3) to encourage more of our students and staff to engage with the programme. The project was aimed at all undergraduate students in their penultimate year of study (145 Year 2 Teacher Education and 120 Year 1 Early Childhood Studies and Health and Leisure Studies students) and all 40 academic staff. Students were invited to an International Day in November 2014 during which they received information about Erasmus+ (and other programmes), were encouraged to engage with the process by visiting lecturers from partner institutions and heard, first-hand, from fellow students who made presentations about their experiences abroad in the previous year. Similarly staff were invited to seminars to learn about the new Erasmus+ opportunities and to hear from colleagues who had previously engaged with mobility opportunities. In addition, our International Development Committee, established in 2011 was increased to include staff representatives from all the undergraduate programmes, in order to encourage engagement with Erasmus+. The outcomes proved very favourable. Some 42 students took part in mobility activities across Europe, the greatest number to date. Staff mobility was targeted specifically toward our objective of strengthening and deepening selected partnerships, with two Health and Leisure staff visiting Austria and the Czech Republic respectively in order to develop new and enhanced opportunities for students on this specific programme, whilst a further two Teacher Education staff visited Poland and Germany to discuss new possibilities for enhancing Teacher Education links and developing teaching and research opportunities. Through the International Development Committee structure, a further member of staff visited Spain to establish opportunities in relation to modern languages whilst a further committee member worked on already established European links (from the previous year) in relation to Health and Leisure Studies. The main impact of the project was enhanced partnerships with selected partners, particularly in relation to Health and Leisure Studies.
