UK-Malaysia Going Global Partnership Grants for Student Mobility 2023

Overview of Funding Opportunity

The overarching objective of UK-Malaysia Going Global Partnerships Grant for Student Mobility 2023 is to support lead institutions from the UK and Malaysia to develop innovative and sustainable student mobility initiatives.  The initiative(s) should include activities that combine both virtual and physical mobility components, and address the following objectives:

1. Develop transdisciplinary mobility modules that provide students with opportunities for Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL), cultural exchange and research-based learning, with the objective of tackling specific challenges (e.g. those linked to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals or other societal challenges identified by the institutions).
2. Develop strong links with industry partners in the region which would lead to opportunities for UK students to grow their understanding of Malaysia and the Southeast Asian Region through initiatives such as internships opportunities and work-based learning. The ultimate aim is to develop a cohort of UK students who are more ‘Asian-literate’.
3. Devise a flexible mobility approach that is open to students from various study disciplines and at any level (bachelor, master and doctoral levels), as well as accessible to those from diverse backgrounds and circumstances.
4. Strengthen capacity in developing mobility initiatives in higher education institutions and share best practices for embedding student mobility sustainably within the curriculum to enhance student outcomes and competencies.
