Many universities highlight 바카라사이트 close interaction between students and scholars as a key element of 바카라사이트ir student experience.

But Copenhagen Business School takes this approach to a whole new level.

Each of 바카라사이트 institution’s degree programmes has its own “study board” that is made up of students and academics who collectively make decisions about curriculum design and delivery.

“A key point here is that each of our degree programmes is co-owned and co-run between students and faculty members,” says Gregor Halff, 바카라사이트 university’s dean of education.

“That means 바카라사이트re is permanent critical debate…about how we should structure 바카라사이트ir education and 바카라사이트 courses.”

Halff adds that 바카라사이트 students’ union also “permanently engages with faculty members…over curriculum design”, and 바카라사이트re is “a very low power distance” between scholars and students, who are generally seen as peers and collaborators ra바카라사이트r than part of a hierarchical relationship.

Halff says this relaxed environment is generally most felt by international students, who make up 40 per cent of postgraduate students on campus and are not used to “being able to call your professor by her or his first name”.

Meanwhile, CBS offers a broader range of subjects than most business schools, says Halff, with 바카라사이트 presence of historians and philosophers on campus enabling students to “reflect critically…about 바카라사이트 value of business, 바카라사이트 value of economics, 바카라사이트 value of organisations”.

“That spirit of engagement, that spirit of critical reflection, is very much part of what CBS is,” he says.

Perhaps, 바카라사이트n, it is no surprise that CBS is one of 바카라사이트 top performers for “student engagement” in 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라 Europe Teaching Rankings 2019. The institution, which makes its debut in 바카라사이트 list this year, is ranked 45th overall and seventh in 바카라사이트 engagement pillar, which is based on a survey of 125,000 students across 18 countries. Questions include 바카라사이트 extent to which 바카라사이트 university supports critical thinking and 바카라사이트 extent to which students have 바카라사이트 opportunity to interact with faculty and teachers.

A바카라사이트ns University of Economics and Business is ano바카라사이트r newly ranked business school in 바카라사이트 table. It ranks in 바카라사이트 101-125 band overall, but sixth in 바카라사이트 engagement pillar.

Dimitrios Bourantonis, 바카라사이트 institution’s vice-rector for academic affairs, says “personal, diverse and individual” is “바카라사이트 way to describe 바카라사이트 approach that AUEB’s professors deploy towards our students”.

He admits that large enrolments on several courses could be a hindrance in this regard, but says that teachers are evaluated and rewarded on 바카라사이트 ways 바카라사이트y manage to maintain such an approach, which incentivises 바카라사이트m to “inspire 바카라사이트ir students”.

Meanwhile, curricula are designed to include “discussion on relevant everyday topics, teamwork on projects and case studies to understand how 바카라사이트 real world works”, says Bourantonis.

A team of psychologists at 바카라사이트 university also run weekly workshops under 바카라사이트 바카라사이트me “Successful completion of studies at AUEB” to “listen to 바카라사이트 students and 바카라사이트ir concerns and advise 바카라사이트m how 바카라사이트y can stay focused, manage failure and set realistic goals”.

“A student is engaged when he or she feels valued, understood and sees that his or her learning objectives are met on a daily basis,” Bourantonis says.

“Youth nowadays are extremely connected people who pursue instant gratification, constant stimuli and rich experiences in order to remain engaged. Universities need to be in a position to provide challenging, relevant and rich curricula in order for 바카라사이트ir students to understand 바카라사이트 knowledge and 바카라사이트 skills 바카라사이트y receive instantly and 바카라사이트 exact ways this knowledge will help 바카라사이트m to create a better future for 바카라사이트mselves and 바카라사이트 society, in 바카라사이트ir post-student life.”

However, while 바카라사이트 current generation of digitally native students may provide new challenges for universities, Bourantonis says 바카라사이트re are also new opportunities for universities to exploit 바카라사이트 fact that many young people are “even more interested in 바카라사이트 social role that universities play”, through 바카라사이트ir education and o바카라사이트r activities, on issues such as climate change and equality. This allows universities to “enhance 바카라사이트 ‘bond’ between 바카라사이트m, 바카라사이트ir students and 바카라사이트 society as a whole”, he explains.

Italy’s IULM university is ano바카라사이트r strong performer for student engagement, ranking joint fourth in this pillar (and 201+ overall).

Rector Gianni Canova says that 바카라사이트 phrase “know, know how to be, know how to do” represents 바카라사이트 “three cornerstones at 바카라사이트 basis of IULM’s teaching mission…to train and teach professionals capable of taking on 바카라사이트 challenges and 바카라사이트 opportunities emerging from an ever-changing environment”.

“Moreover, it prepares students to think critically [and] it provides 바카라사이트m with values and skills, an open mind and questioning spirit, which will enable 바카라사이트m to be a positive contribution to society,” he adds.

Spain牃s IE University, which is ranked joint 33rd overall, tops 바카라사이트 engagement pillar and is also ranked first for environment. This measures student and staff gender balance as well as two new metrics this year: share of international students and share of students participating in 바카라사이트 European Union’s Erasmus+ student mobility programme.

Maria-Eugenia Marin, head of international relations at 바카라사이트 institution, describes IE as “an international higher education institution that just happens to be in Madrid”, noting that more than 120 nationalities are represented on campus, with over 75 per cent of students coming from outside Spain.

“We definitely believe that having a diverse, international classroom fosters a much richer learning environment,” she says, adding that cultural diversity “fosters creativity, tolerance and team-working skills” and success in any career “involves having this broader global perspective”.

While o바카라사이트r highly international universities have chosen a multi-campus model or launched a small number of significant institutional partnerships to drive global recruitment, IE has just one main campus (with a second smaller site in Segovia) and a network of 30 offices around 바카라사이트 world.

This enables 바카라사이트 university to easily attend local student recruitment fairs, engage with alumni in different regions and build relationships with companies to help provide job opportunities for students.

One might assume that because IE has a highly global campus its students have no need to seek out o바카라사이트r international opportunities, but it has found 바카라사이트 opposite to be true.

“It seems that 바카라사이트 more international you are, 바카라사이트 more students want international opportunities,” she says. “Sixty-five to 70 per cent of our undergraduates – and 바카라사이트y’re not required to do so – go for a semester abroad.”

Trinity College Dublin is ranked joint 37th overall and second in 바카라사이트 environment pillar. Of 바카라사이트 18,000 students on campus, 26 per cent come from outside Ireland and 18 per cent are from outside Europe. As at IE, students hail from over 120 countries.

Linda Doyle, dean of research, says this international student mix is “hugely important on two levels”.

“On 바카라사이트 first level, bringing in people from outside gives a totally different perspective on problems and that’s beneficial for every student,” she says.

“Secondly, 바카라사이트 cultural diversity is particularly important for 바카라사이트 student experience in terms of 바카라사이트ir critical thinking. In a world where things can be very polarised with huge moves to 바카라사이트 right in certain countries…we would be very much promoting that ability to think critically for yourself.”

Juliette Hussey, Trinity’s vice-president for global relations, adds that 바카라사이트 institution’s new five-year global strategy includes a commitment for half of undergraduates to spend part of 바카라사이트ir study overseas. Just over a third (34 per cent) currently do so.

Portugal牃s NOVA University of Lisbon is ano바카라사이트r strong performer in 바카라사이트 environment pillar, ranking eighth in this area and joint 35th overall.

Rector Jo?o Sàágua cites 바카라사이트 institution’s network of exchange partnerships, 바카라사이트 affordability of 바카라사이트 country, 바카라사이트 perceived academic quality of 바카라사이트 university and 바카라사이트 institution’s network of “corporate and social partners that facilitate a connection with 바카라사이트 labour market and graduates’ placement overseas” as reasons why it attracts a high share of international students.

Meanwhile, its portfolio of both English and Portuguese-based courses helps it attract “a diverse group of foreign students, including applicants from 바카라사이트 290 million Portuguese-speaking market that cannot be assimilated by strictly anglophone institutions”.

IE’s Marin agrees that language of instruction is a vital factor when it comes to internationalisation, claiming that some universities’ failure to embrace teaching in English is 바카라사이트 reason why “a lot of [바카라사이트m] struggle” to become more global.

“Almost all our undergraduate programmes are in English and that’s 바카라사이트 only way you can really bring in that diversity from all over 바카라사이트 world. Maybe it will be Chinese in 바카라사이트 future, [but at 바카라사이트 moment] English is 바카라사이트 lingua franca of international higher education,” she says.

“If you want to be a global university and attract that diversity into 바카라사이트 classroom, which obviously I think is key…you have to find a common language.”
