Trans‐National Learning Experience

Abstract

Changes and innovations within further and higher education over the last ten years have led to an increased awareness of the value of relevant and structured international experience providing a comparative dimension within the study course. Nowhere is this more clearly seen than in the sandwich mode: for once an integral period of activity undertaken outside the educational establishment has been built into the course pattern. It is a logical step to think of developing this extra‐mural experience in another country, and since the student grant is in any event discontinued during the period in industry it is unnecessary to justify a stay abroad for work experience to local authorities.
