Study Abroad at partner or non-partner universities

Summary of the most important activities of the study programme in relation to

internationalisation, in accordance with the vision of the study programme, with as a

minimum mobility on the basis of internationally accepted definitions

Summary of the major activities of the program regarding

internationalization

Details on reforms, agreements and study abroad statistics are included in the Study

Abroad Policy Manual

I. 2006 Partnership Reform

In 2006, the Study Abroad Department converted existing exchange partnerships into

Limited Exchange Agreements. The Limited Exchange Agreement allows exchanges of

incoming and outgoing students (no tuition paid to the host university) as long as the

numbers remain in balance. Should the numbers fall out of balance by more than one

student per semester at any point in time, then any subsequent student from the partner in

positive balance is required to pay tuition fees to the host university. This agreement has

helped Vesalius College to cope with the large imbalance between incoming study abroad

students and (the much smaller amount) of outgoing students. This agreement allows not

only for the possibility of tuition-free exchanges, but also ensures that neither partner will

find itself in a financially compromising situation where it accepts more exchange students

than it is able to send out. It also keeps the door for student mobility open by allowing the

partner to send fee-paying students in the case of exchange imbalances.

II. Types of international partnership agreements – changes since 2006

1) Institutional Partnerships – between Vesalius and an international partner university

2) Third-Party Provider Partnerships – between Vesalius and U.S. study abroad providers

3) Other types of institutional agreements that have been implemented for select partners:

Unilateral Outgoing Fee-Paying Agreement, Unilateral Incoming Fee-Paying

Agreement, and Bilateral Fee-Paying Agreement.

4) Other Sources of International Students:

SANA (Study Abroad No Agreement)/Independent Students

Erasmus Mundus Students: Agreement with VUB’s International Relations

and Mobility Office that allows the VUB to promote Vesalius programs to

qualified and interested Erasmus Mundus students. This agreement is in the

interest of the cultural diversification and of the social responsibility of the

College.

III. Additional measures to attract partners from non-US countries

The Study Abroad Department implemented new measures in order to encourage partners

from Asian, Latin American, Eastern European and Middle Eastern countries to send fee-

paying students to Vesalius College in an effort to encourage diversification in the

composition of nationalities of our student body. In 2013, the partner institutions from

those regions have been proposed a “Tuition Addendum,” which allows for a numbers-

based tuition fee reduction for its students:

i. For one (1) partner university student enrolled/semester: Student pays 90% of

Vesalius College tuition

ii. For two to four (2-4) partner university students enrolled/semester: Students pay

70% of Vesalius College tuition

iii. For five or more (>5) partner university students enrolled/semester: Students pay


IV. List of partners since 2006

Since 2006, a number of new partnerships were established while a few were eliminated after

years of inactivity. Notably, the agreements with San Francisco State University and with

Koç University, both established prior to 2006 and both having remained stagnant for years

were discontinued.

The following new partnerships have been established since 2006:

North America:

Beloit College

Birmingham Southern College

Chatham University

State University of New York, College of Staten Island

Covenant College

Doane College

Hawai’i Pacific University

Hobart and William Smith Colleges

Bond University – Australia

Chonbuk National University – South Korea

Hallym University – South Korea

Konkuk University – South Korea

Kyung Hee University – South Korea

Peking University – HSBC Business School – China

Vesalius College is currently in partnership negotiations with the following Universities:

University of Southern Queensland - Australia

Northumbria University – United Kingdom

University of Cape Town – South Africa

American University in Dubai – United Arab Emirates

American University in Cairo - Egypt

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University – Hong Kong

Boston University - USA

California State University Sacramento - USA

Emmanuel College - USA

Molloy College - USA

Rice University - USA

Truman State University – USA

The Study Abroad Department also has immediate plans to recruit new partners from Hong

Kong and Singapore, two regions where English is the operative language and that locate

larger numbers of private institutions than do other Asian regions. These two factors should

increase our chances for successful recruitment of fee-paying Asian students, and could

become attractive destinations for outgoing Vesalius exchange students.

incoming and outgoing students (no tuition paid to the host university) as long as the numbers

remain in balance. Should the numbers fall out of balance by more than one student per

semester at any point in time, then any subsequent student from the partner in positive

balance is required to pay tuition fees to the host university. This agreement has helped

Vesalius College to cope with the large imbalance between incoming study abroad students

and (the much smaller amount) of outgoing students. This agreement allows not only for the

possibility of tuition-free exchanges, but also ensures that neither partner will find itself in a

financially compromising situation where it accepts more exchange students than it is able to

send out. It also keeps the door for student mobility open by allowing the partner to send fee-

paying students in the case of exchange imbalances.

incoming and outgoing students (no tuition paid to the host university) as long as the

numbers remain in balance. Should the numbers fall out of balance by more than one

student per semester at any point in time, then any subsequent student from the partner in

positive balance is required to pay tuition fees to the host university. This agreement has

helped Vesalius College to cope with the large imbalance between incoming study abroad

students and (the much smaller amount) of outgoing students. This agreement allows not

only for the possibility of tuition-free exchanges, but also ensures that neither partner will

find itself in a financially compromising situation where it accepts more exchange students

than it is able to send out. It also keeps the door for student mobility open by allowing the

partner to send fee-paying students in the case of exchange imbalances.
