Increasing impact of international development study experiences

The University's of Antwerp's Institute of Development Policy (IOB) in collaboration with Vlir-UOS impact the lives of many through its international master’s programmes. Over a period of 20 years, around 1,300 women and men from more than 100 different countries have studied at IOB and now comprise a lively alumni community and ecosystem of intercultural interaction. An assessment was conducted from 2018 to 2021 to determine the impact of the IOB study experience on the individual graduates, the organizations they work for, and the broader society. The findings presented in this policy brief provide the basis for recommendations to: a) improve the quality, relevance, and impact of international study programmes; and b) increase the development impact of scholarship programmes.
