Consultancy
We can provide consultancy and quality assurance to guide your institution through internationalization and the Internationalization of Curriculum (IoC). This involves a 3-stage process to support university leadership and university stakeholders in mapping, benchmarking, and strategy.
Stage 1: Mapping
Establish where your institution is and facilitate discussion around your new vision with university stakeholders using Appreciative Inquiry.
Stage 2: Benchmarking
We create a detailed report on your Internationalization Strategy with a detailed didactic analysis of study courses and programs benchmarked to quality criteria.
Stage 3: Strategy Design
Develop a new institution-wide internationalization strategy or focus on Internationalization of Curriculum, including a comprehensive capacity-building plan for your institution.
Professional Learning Communities
Do you need to tackle complex challenges and realize innovations, engage academics into internationalization, improve teaching and design international programs, create welcoming joint campuses and degrees with your partners? MIIC will support you in setting up and facilitating Professional Learning Communities at your institution.
