Dr Aline Courtois
NUI held a Seminar in the College of Anaesthetists on 5 December 2017 to showcase Dr Courtois’ research. At the seminar, entitled “The Significance of International Student Mobility in Students’ Strategies at Third Level in Ireland”, Dr Courtois presented the findings of her research to an audience of International Office representatives, academics and students in the field of international education and languages.
The key aim of Dr Courtois’ study is to address the lack of research on the experiences of Irish students engaging in short-term mobility for study. The paper examined the benefits of student mobility at individual, institutional, national and regional levels within the context of HEI’s strategies on internationalisation.
A copy of Dr Courtois' research paper "The Significance of International Student Mobility in Students’ Strategies at Third Level in Ireland” can be downloaded here.
