Global Engagement & Partnerships

Global Engagement & Partnerships coordinates and supports a wide range of international activities across the IBA, including:

• Internationalisation of Education
  We support the integration of international and intercultural perspectives into IBA’s curricula, teaching and learning environments. We promote internationalisation at home, collaborative learning and opportunities for students to develop global competencies throughout their studies.
• Student and Staff Mobility
  We facilitate international study, teaching and training opportunities for students and staff, including Erasmus+ exchanges, international study programmes, short-term mobility, Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs), summer schools and professional development activities.
• International Partnerships and Networks
  We develop, maintain and strengthen strategic partnerships with universities, educational institutions, organisations and businesses worldwide. Through international networks and collaborative projects, we create opportunities for knowledge exchange, innovation and long-term cooperation.
• International Recruitment and Admissions
  We coordinate international marketing and student recruitment activities, collaborate with educational agents and representatives, manage international enquiries and admissions, and guide prospective students through their journey to IBA.
• International Student Support and Integration
  We support international students before, during and after their arrival, helping them prepare for their studies, settle into life in Denmark and become part of IBA’s international community. We also promote interaction and collaboration between Danish and international students.
• International Projects and Funding
  We coordinate and manage international education and mobility projects, including Erasmus+ and Danida-funded initiatives. We also support students and staff in identifying and accessing relevant international funding and scholarship opportunities.
• International Events and Global Experiences
  We organise and support international weeks, summer schools, cultural events, visiting delegations and other international activities that bring together students, educators and partners from around the world.
