StudyLink Tours, PGL Beyond’s leading student group travel specialist for the higher and further education sector, recently joined a Times Higher Education webinar to discuss the long-term benefits of short-term student mobility.
While long-term student travel may not be accessible for all, a recent report from Universities UK International suggests that even short-term educational travel offers benefits such as developing students’ soft skills and employability, promoting inclusivity and widening participation.
PGL Beyond’s Head of Impact & Breakthrough Learning, Dr John Allan, and Head of Education Marketing, Michelle Evans, joined a panel of HE leaders from Manchester Metropolitan University, University of Kent and University of East Anglia for this dynamic conversation.
Our personal highlights include Dr John Allan’s sharing of research data linking experiential learning to academic attainment and personal development.
Michelle Evans was also able to share insights into how an agile, well-connected provider, such as StudyLink Tours, can help universities produce impactful experiences that can be scaffolded within HE modules.
