Global learning
This research group aims to contribute to enabling all students at The Hague University of Applied Sciences to acquire global knowledge and skills. This global dimension is essential for all students and is therefore considered an integral component of all programmes at THUAS.
The research group Global Learning was launched on 1 January 2018. The research group focuses on the global professional and personal skills that all our students learn through their home curricula. Lecturers are the key actors that enable global learning by students.
This requires us to critically examine our own educational practice and to develop the skills of our lecturers. The research group contributes insights that help lecturers to imagine internationalisation for their context, and to enhance the skills that enable them to assume their crucial role. The research group therefore collaborates with trainers and practitioners in the learning community ‘internationalisation’ at THUAS.
The research group itself aims to operate globally: collaboration with research centres on international education, within Europe and beyond, are a key focus of the research group.
