Abstract

Studying abroad has recognised benefits for students’ personal growth, complementing and enriching their university education. However, issues such as the sustainability of foreign travel, and health crises such as COVID-19, have resulted in a growing need to identify and provide parallel opportunities for students who cannot or do not want to study abroad, while still enhancing their personal and academic attributes and preparing them for the world of work. Through analysis of quantitative First Destinations data, and qualitative, semi-structured interviews, Universitas 21, the global university network, sought to generate robust evidence of the impact of both study abroad and home-based extracurricular experiences on students’ maturational experiences, their academic progress and their employability. While benefits were observed from both activities, the research did not find that studying abroad resulted in immediate employability gains in the study’s cohort. However, the researchers identified that supporting students to apply a reflective lens to their experiences was fundamental in helping them to recognise their benefits and, ultimately, ‘market’ themselves to prospective employers. The study on which the chapter is based pre-dates the impact of COVID-19 on foreign travel. However, its findings have relevance for planning and supporting effective actual and virtual student mobility and home-based extracurricular activities, post-pandemic.
