Student Mobility!
For decades to come, we firmly believe that student mobility will be one of the most critical aspects of
international higher education. Students should be internationally competitive, so they can more around the
world and seize opportunities.

KDU is the proposer of the project and a facilitator for the

each member of the network is an equal player and has

Mobility
During the study of higher education we do not want to limit students geographically. It is becoming
more and more critical to let the students move around freely, to get educated and trained under a well-
coordinated academic environment, exposing themselves to the international community and industry.
The students will learn more about different cultures, languages, and industry practices to be better
prepared for their future.
However, there are many legal barriers hindering this in different countries. In what we propose here,
we endeavor to eliminate these barriers and obstacles so we can easily and quickly extend our education
network around the globe.

the fees determined by the member. Net profits after all the expenses are kept and used by partner university to
support mobility’s expenses of their own incoming or outgoing students, such as tuition fees, travel costs, and living
expenses. This is to ensure we always support the mobility of the students coming to the member institutes.
Conclusion
Networking means we all become critical players to achieve our common goal of Student Mobility.
Each member will get international students through mobility of the network no matter where it is!
Once again: we used to talk about Student Mobility simply in terms of students studying abroad and
traditional ways of credit transfer. However, we go a step further, by establishing a common academic
platform wherein high-quality teaching with constant upgrades and unlimited student mobility are
assured. The students are exposed internationally to global communities during the study period, so the
students will be productive and competitive as soon as they commence their career.
Statistics predict that Student Mobility will reach over 8 million by 2020, but this figure is based on the
traditional concept of Student Mobility. By using our method, it would be beyond your imagination without
any doubt.
As one says, “If you do what you have been doing, you will get what you have been getting!”
Truly Globalization!
