Internal internationalisation<br />

IHM demonstrates its internationalisation through its curriculum, the Exchange Programme for<br />

lecturers and students and the campus sites in various places around the world where our<br />

educational programme is on offer. With '<strong>The</strong> Grand Tour®' we try to give a contemporary<br />

version of the 17th-18th century ideal on educating students in which it was thought that<br />

students would get the best education by travelling the world and studying in various localities.<br />

Our students are able to take the Grand Tour® and continue their IHM education by attending<br />

classes at one of the campus sites offering our programme in various countries around the<br />

world.<br />

External <strong>International</strong>isation<br />

We have established relationships with various foreign institutions. <strong>The</strong>se contacts are<br />

formalised in cooperation agreements and exchange programmes for both students and<br />

lecturers. <strong>The</strong> exchanges are coordinated by the Coordinator of <strong>International</strong>isation and<br />

administratively supported by the <strong>International</strong> Office (refer to Students Regulation, part 1,<br />

university matters).<br />

<strong>International</strong> Exchange Programme<br />

<strong>Stenden</strong> offers you the opportunity to participate in an international exchange programme. This<br />

period of studying abroad can form an important part of your education at <strong>Stenden</strong>. <strong>Stenden</strong><br />

runs exchange-programmes with a number of partner-institutions, most of them in Europe,<br />

some of them in the United States, and Australia. You are given the opportunity to concentrate<br />

on your chosen field in a different environment and perhaps in a different way. This can give<br />

your studies a completely different dimension and enrich your studies.<br />
