SEMESTER ABROAD – An OVERVIEW
Studying abroad not only has an overall positive impact on the development of the student but also provide a wide range of job skills, expands career possibilities, and has a long-term impact on career progression and promotion. According to the research conducted at IIE Summit on Generation Study Abroad in Washington, DC one of the big outcomes of the research is that these short-term programs help to develop teamwork skills more effectively and knowing how to be sensitive to other cultures. The study showed that the top five skills, with more than 70% of respondents saying their study abroad experience contributed to a significant degree of improvement, were intercultural skills, curiosity, flexibility/adaptability, confidence, and self-awareness. In addition, more than 50% noted significant gains in interpersonal and problem-solving skills. Even the employers agree that study abroad can have a positive effect on skills needed for today’s global workforce.

This was introduced in order to provide students a truly global exposure by giving them an opportunity to interact and study with the international students through intercultural pedagogy, exchange of thoughts, ideas and aspirations thereby enabling the students to become global leaders.
