Mobility

Mobility for students, faculty, and staff is one of the pillars of OSUN. The mobility program fosters new pathways between and among OSUN partners, particularly with those outside of North America and Europe, with the goal of amplifying OSUN themes, engaging underrepresented students, and strengthening overall institutional ties across the network.

Student Mobility

OSUN makes mobility on both the undergraduate and the graduate levels equally accessible to students across the network. Mobility opportunities include semester study abroad opportunities, research opportunities, and funding for short-term study opportunities within the network. A special emphasis is placed on students who are normally excluded from or have limited access to international mobility. Grant recipients are selected based on the relevance of their proposed studies or research to OSUN themes.

  • Undergraduate Mobility
    OSUN Undergraduate Mobility provides educational opportunities to further studies related to OSUN themes at partner institutions. This is a tuition exchange program where eligible students pay their regular tuition at their home institution.  Scholarships are available via the application process and are awarded based on both need and merit. Depending on the host institution, scholarship awards may cover some degree of accommodation and living costs, mandatory insurance, travel and visa expenses.

This is a tuition exchange program where eligible students pay their regular tuition at their home institution.  Scholarships are available via the application process and are awarded based on both need and merit.

Faculty and Staff Mobility

  • Faculty Mobility
    Faculty Mobility strengthens bonds throughout the network and spurs collaboration on teaching, course design, curriculum development, scholarship, research, and civic engagement. Collaboration fosters academic integration and innovation, which in turn expands opportunities for students to engage with diverse perspectives. Crucially, the program builds teaching capacity and expertise and expands course offerings at under-resourced partner institutions.

  • Staff Mobility
    Staff Mobility (“Work-Away”) program provides opportunities for administrative or academic-support staff to spend up to one month embedded at a partner institution to learn about its administrative processes and contribute to cross-institutional integration and collaboration. Specifically, mid-level staff at under-resourced institutions can learn from partners who are strong in administrative areas critical to OSUN integration while building lasting partnerships.
