Yliopistouudistus ja kansainvälistyminen University reform and internationalisation of HEIs Director Anita Lehikoinen 10 March 2009

Aims of the university reform In order to give the universities a stronger financial and administrative status, they will be made independent legal persons and supplied with sufficient capital. As legal persons, the universities will be better equipped to respond to their own needs and to the expectations of society than as State accounting offices. As legal persons, the universities will be better able to operate with the surrounding society. Efforts will be made to gain the commitment of other actors in society to supporting the universities' mission. Measures will be taken to ensure continued international competitiveness for the university system.

Means of the university reform in a nutshell Status as legal persons The universities are legal persons separate from the State, either as corporations under public law or foundations under the Foundations Act. Corporation under public law (public university) A legal person under the Universities Act whose organs and their functions are laid down in legislation. Foundation under private law (foundation university) A legal person under the Foundations Act which is assigned the university mission in the Universities Act. The government will continue to be responsible for funding the public duties of the universities even though the universities are no longer within the State budget economy. The Ministry of Education will ensure by means of steering that university activities conform to the higher education policy aims set by Parliament and the Government.

Means of the university reform in a nutshell (2) Students and education The students in the university form a self-governing student union. automatic membership in the union remains. the student union has the special task of appointing student representatives to the university organs Degree education continues to be free of charge. Universities can, however, arrange made-to-order degree education to citizens of non-eu/eea countries. In addition, there will be a fixed-term trial of charging tuition fees to citizens of non-eu/eea countries in master's programmes taught in foreign languages. provisions concerning degree programmes will be enacted by a Ministry of Education Decree. tuition fees are conditional on a scholarship scheme.

Timetable of the university reform The Government has submitted its Bill to Parliament in February 2009. The reform is projected to take effect on 1 August 2009. After this, the public universities may organise and set up the new organs of the legal person. The current operations of universities as state accounting offices will stop on 31 December 2009. The personnel and students transfer to the new universities on 1 January 2010.

Internationalisation strategy for higher education institutions 2009-2015 Internationalisation is part of the reform of the public research, innovation and higher education system in Finland. The strategy sets five primary aims for internationalisation: A genuinely international higher education community Increasing the quality and attractiveness of higher education institutions Promoting the export of competence Supporting a multicultural society Promoting global responsibility Erasmus Mundus Programme as a tool to support these aims

A genuinely international higher education community By 2015, the number of non-finnish teachers, researchers and degree students will have risen considerably The number of degree students in HEIs 20 000 (2007:11 300) The share of non-finnish students in graduate schools 20 % (2007: 15,8 %) Teacher and researcher mobility in universities incoming 4 000 (2007: 1 730) outgoing 4 000 (2007: 1 220) Teacher and expert mobility in polytechnics incoming 3 000 (2007: 1 690) outgoing 4 000 (2007: 3 250) Student and trainee mobility in universities incoming 8 000 (2007: 5 210) outgoing 8 000 (2007: 5 270) Student and trainee mobility in polytechnics incoming 8 000 (2007: 4 420) outgoing 8 000 (2007: 7 180) The higher education institutions offer high-quality education focused on their expert areas in foreign languages and actively utilise international cooperation opportunities, in particular, within the EU and Nordic countries. The international competence of students is consolidated by well-executed mobility periods abroad and high-quality course selection including international elements in Finland.

Increasing the quality and attractiveness of higher education institutions Internationally networked higher education institutions to support internationalisation, competitiveness and well-being. High quality education and research as well as opportunities afforded by the Finnish working life as an attraction for talented non-finnish students and researchers. Well-functioning services to support coming to and staying in Finland.

Promoting global responsibility Finnish higher education institutions to consolidate competence in developing countries Especially Erasmus Mundus Action 2 to contribute to the economic and social development of non-eu countries

Implementation of the strategy On the basis of the aims of the national strategy HEIs define the focus areas of their international activities as part of their overall strategies. The forms and means of internationalisation to vary according to the fields of education and research Polytechnics and universities to have a slightly different internationalisation profile Utilisation of EU programmes to gain the aims for internationalisation set in the HEIs' strategies.

PILOT EVALUATION PROCESS OF FINNISH ERASMUS MUNDUS MASTER PROGRAMMES Finnish Higher Education Evaluation Council Karl Holm

Evaluation process... a process of six months 2008 planning group self assessment / questionnaire reporting 2

Why evaluation... real need for programme-specific evaluation relatively young and challenging area to create discussion between the programmes to disseminate best practices / recommendations learning by doing (mistakes) 3

Connection to university internationalisation strategy no extra funding by the university more concrete actions should be taken by management resources and support should be allocated correspondingly lack of supporting courses in teaching multicultural groups 4

Marketing, recruitment and student selection... satisfaction with highly motivated students 'Tokka' online system by TKK highly recommended University central administration should be included in the selection process 5

Teaching and curriculum Erasmus Mundus programmes have had a strong impact on internationalisation at home teacher exchange is available. Staff development measures should be developed further more intense cooperation with the language center to include students and labour market reperesentatives in planning 6

Student support and mobility 'Personal Study Plans' strongly encouraged good practice is to check students progression continuously field/intensive course outside of the academic environment 7

Labour market cooperation students for the labor market or for further academic studies alumni interaction with society in broader terms arranging practical training placements is a challenge feedback on the programme through sending students on practical training placements 8

Quality assurance measures quality culture of EM programmes should be seen linked to overall quality systems of universities setting common quality criteria within the partner network for the whole EM programme is encouraged as well as commonly agreeing on how to measure the quality essential is to allow students to give continuous feedback one commonly used course feedback system is preferred 9
