International Policy and Erasmus Charter

The HE Vinci strives to equip all its students and staff with international and intercultural skills.

Measured the number of our mobility programmes, we are one of the most internationally active universities in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. We intend to pursue this global outreach by promoting the international mobility of our students and our staff, as well as the learning of foreign languages. Our ambition is that all our students should benefit from an international experience during their time in higher education, either through mobility or through ‘internationalisation@home’.

We believe that exposure to different international contexts and experience of other teaching methods in partner institutions develops students’ critical thinking, problem-solving skills, curiosity, and adaptability. As well as learning new skills, this exposure is a transformative experience and students become citizens capable of finding innovative solutions to the complex problems of today and tomorrow.

Where work placements are concerned, we taken great care to select the highest quality partner institutions and companies, with a focus on their capacity to offer high quality support and supervision to our students.

Through the exchange of knowledge and good teaching practices, participation in international networks helps to connect research and teaching activities. This connection is a prerequisite to meeting society’s current and future needs.

The continuum between research and teaching activities at HE Vinci guarantees that our taught degree programmes are relevant to labour market needs, enabling our young graduates to acquire the aptitudes and skills they need to secure a job, start a business or pursue their career dreams.

For two decades, HE VINCI has been working in partnership with the countries of the South. We have developed numerous initiatives in Africa, Latin America, Asia and more specifically in the countries of the French-speaking world, notably through capacity building programmes. We are striving to strengthen this cooperation by devoting extra staff to this objective in our International Relations Department.
